NORTHLAND Yangshuo 100 Ultra Trail 2026 - Guilin, China

NORTHLAND Yangshuo 100 Ultra Trail is scheduled for 5 and 6 December 2026 in Yangshuo County, Guilin, Guangxi, China. Its trails pass through the region's celebrated limestone karst scenery, rural villages, river valleys and varied country paths. The race is an established large-scale event, with an announced capacity of 4,000 runners across four categories. The 2026 edition is operated locally with support from Yangshuo County and NORTHLAND, with MaXi-Race China named as a registration contact.

The flagship category is advertised as 110 km but is measured at 117 km, with 3,769 metres of climbing and a 28-hour cutoff. A nominal 50 km course measures 52.9 km with 1,321 metres climbing and a 12-hour cutoff. The other categories are 35.1 km with 843 metres of climbing and 10.8 km with 229 metres. The advertised starts at Yangshuo Tourist Car Park on Saturday 5 December are 05:00, 06:00, 07:00 and 08:00 respectively, in descending distance order. The longest course finishes by 09:00 Sunday 6 December.

Pre-race check-in is scheduled for Friday 4 December. The registration window ran from 28 May to 19 June, with lottery allocation for the three longest categories and first-come entry for the shortest. Registration is now closed. Runners in the longer races are promised race-specific NORTHLAND commemorative backpacks, with organised refreshments and course management described by the organiser. Prospective participants should verify final course maps, mandatory kit, travel options, exact collection times and safety notices through the official registration service. Because the measured course distances are longer than the nominal labels, runners should plan training, nutrition and cutoffs using the measured figures.
