Event Detail
The 2026 WSE 10KM OPEN Suzhou stop brings the national road-running series to Zhangjiagang's Shuangshan-Xiangshan Tourist Resort, in Jiangsu Province, on Saturday 21 November 2026. The event combines competitive 10 km and 5 km racing with shorter family categories, taking place in the wider riverside and Xiangshan scenic precinct near the Yangtze River.
Race programme
- 07:00–09:00: 10 km elite event, with staggered waves for different groups.
- 09:00–10:00: 5 km elite event, also using staggered starts.
- 09:30–10:30: 5 km parent-and-child event (one adult with one child).
- 10:00–11:00: 3 km parent-and-child event (one adult with one child).
These are the official advertised category time windows, rather than proof that every participant in a category starts at the first minute of the window. Confirm the assigned wave and assembly instructions after receiving your entry information.
Participation and age eligibility
The published entry rules list birth-date eligibility rather than only approximate age groups. The 10 km elite division covers births from 21 November 1946 to 1 January 2016, while the 5 km elite division covers births from 21 November 1941 to 1 January 2019. The 5 km family division is for children born 1 January 2018 to 1 January 2022; the 3 km family division covers children born 1 January 2018 to 1 January 2023. Each family entry requires one adult guardian accompanying one child, with the adult participating, not merely supervising from the sidelines. Entrants should review the exact eligibility conditions at checkout.
Before travelling
Entries are advertised on the event's authorised Zuicool registration platform, subject to remaining capacity, with a stated registration deadline of 9 November 2026 at 23:59 China Standard Time. An earlier sell-out can close bookings sooner. The organiser has not independently confirmed the precise start-line coordinates, bib-collection location and schedule, route maps, course cut-offs, or participant-kit inclusions in the registration details reviewed. The map is centred on the broader Xiangshan resort area and must not be treated as the verified start line. Check the organiser's WSE10K official WeChat accounts or your participant notice for transport access, final course directions and race-pack arrangements.
The surrounding Shuangshan-Xiangshan destination combines Xiangshan's wooded hill landscape with Yangtze river-island scenery. Travellers should distinguish the Zhangjiagang venue from central Suzhou, and allow extra travel time to the resort district.
