The 2026 Kailas Fuga Beijing Huairou 100 Mountain Running Race (北京怀柔100越野赛) is a signature ultra-trail event scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2026. Set in the rugged Huairou District of Beijing, the race is famous for its technical "Great Wall" sections, where runners traverse ancient, unrestored segments of the Ming Dynasty fortifications, including the legendary Jiankou and Mutianyu stretches. This event serves as a major qualifier for international trail circuits, offering significant ITRA points across its longer distances.
The course begins and ends near the Yanqi Lake International Convention Center, a modern architectural contrast to the wild, vertical terrain of the surrounding mountains. Participants should prepare for a high-intensity experience involving steep stone stairs, loose scree, and significant elevation gain. Organized under the "First Race" (第一赛道) brand and sponsored by Kailas, the event is known for its professional mountain safety standards and high-altitude medical support, making it a "bucket list" race for elite trail runners in Asia.
