Kailas FUGA Shenzhen 100 & TORX China 2026

Kailas FUGA Shenzhen 100 and TORX China 2026 bring an internationally connected mountain-running festival to Shenzhen, Guangdong, from 25 to 27 December 2026. Organised by Letour Sports, the weekend combines a demanding TORX CHN100 course with shorter mountain races and two 10 km formats. The TORX partnership links the Chinese event to the renowned Italian Tor des Géants endurance-running programme. TORX reported nearly 5,900 runners from more than 20 countries at the previous edition, making this a notable fixture on China's trail calendar.

From the fortress to the sea

The flagship 101.3 km TORX CHN100 is a point-to-point route from Dapeng Fortress to Dameisha Beach Park, climbing approximately 7,190 metres and allowing 30 hours. Its published itinerary travels through Dapeng's coastal hinterland and mountain checkpoints towards the Shenzhen ranges, including the city's high summit area, before reaching the beachside finish. It starts at 06:00 on Saturday 26 December, with a Sunday noon final cutoff.

The 60.3 km course has approximately 4,383 metres of ascent and a 19-hour limit, starting at 06:30 Saturday. The 36.6 km course is scheduled for 07:00 Sunday, with approximately 2,462 metres of ascent and a 12-hour limit. Both use Dameisha as start and finish. A 10.7 km individual race starts at 20:00 Friday 25 December, while the separate 10.7 km youth-and-guardian event starts at 08:00 Saturday. The youth format has explicit age and accompanying-adult requirements, and should not be confused with an ordinary solo children's race. Final route revisions and checkpoint cutoffs are controlled by the organiser's race bulletin.

Entry conditions and race-week preparation

These are serious mountain courses. For the 100 km, applicants must document either two trail finishes of at least 50 km or one trail finish of at least 60 km within the previous year. The 60 km and 35 km categories have their own prior-race standards. The regulations also call for a recent medical check including blood pressure and an ECG. Competitors undergo mandatory-kit checks, and missing required equipment can mean being unable to start or continue.

The published programme schedules advance race-pack collection in Guangzhou and Shenzhen on 19-20 December, with exact advance venues to be confirmed. On-site collection takes place at Dameisha Beach Park during category-specific windows on 25-27 December. Participants should bring original identity documents and allow enough time for qualification and kit checks.

The Zuicool registration page currently shows its listed categories as closed. The TORX CHN100 has a separate organiser-directed entry channel, so verify current availability, eligibility and all changes through the official sources. The 100 km also offers published pathways towards the 2027 TORX events in Italy, with detailed qualification rules in the organiser's regulations.
