AITUYE New Year Run Chengdu 2027

The 2027 AITUYE New Year Run returns to Guixi Ecological Park in Wuhou District, Chengdu on Sunday 17 January. This modest-sized community road-running event is advertised as a relaxed, park-based start to the running year, with a maximum field of 260 participants and a scheduled 09:00 start (China Standard Time).

Running through Guixi Ecological Park

Guixi Ecological Park forms part of Chengdu's extensive urban greenway network, between the Global Centre and Century City business districts. Its open lawns, landscaped paths and pedestrian links offer an accessible outdoor setting for a winter training outing. The organiser lists the park's West Section, Gate 2, 188 Tianfu First Street, Wuhou District as the meeting location. The map pin identifies the western park area approximately; the precise start gantry and collection point should be checked against the final organiser notice.

Distances and participation

The live registration cards advertise a 21 km run for Chinese residents aged 18 to under 60, with a listed price of CNY 195. A shorter non-timed 10 km entry, priced CNY 155, is listed for Chinese residents aged 16 to under 62; its registration text says it does not include chip timing or a results certificate. Important discrepancy: the general event introduction on the same organiser-linked event pages instead calls the shorter run 7 km. Both cannot be taken as a confirmed course length. The structured 10K category follows the live booking selection, but entrants should obtain written distance confirmation from AITUYE before paying or making pace plans. The final course, lap arrangement, elevation and cut-off times are not yet clearly documented.

Booking and race-day information

The booking platform advertises a registration deadline of 10 January 2027 at 23:59 China time, subject to earlier sell-out; available places are handled first-come, first-served. The small field makes checking current entry availability worthwhile. Allow time for park access and on-site checking; the organiser has not published a reliable collection timetable or separate race-category flag-off schedule. Winter mornings can be cool in Chengdu, so plan suitable pre-race layers and carry any hydration or nutrition you personally require until confirmed aid-station details are released.

This listing is based on the current 2027 edition registration partner and corresponding race page, not an earlier AITUYE run at the same park. Contact the organiser through WeChat official account AITUYE-CHINA or its published phone/WeChat contact before travelling. The recorded 09:00 is the advertised event start; category-specific starts remain subject to confirmation.
