Event Detail
The second Xishi Bihu Trail Challenge (第二届西施壁湖越野挑战赛) takes place on Sunday 21 March 2027 in Chenzhai, Zhuji, Zhejiang Province, China. It is part of the Da K Exploration trail-running series, with routes through the hills around the Xishi Bihu area, Dongbai Mountain and Nanyuanjian. The event is based at Chenzhai Town Primary School.
The flagship Double-Peak Traverse 42K starts at 06:30 China time. The organiser lists a measured 41.7 km route with 2,413 metres of climbing, an 11-hour limit and a 17:30 finish deadline. The Moon-Chasing 35K starts at 07:30, covers a measured 33 km and climbs 1,979 metres, with a 17:00 cut-off. The Xishi Memories 20K starts at 08:30, covers 18.7 km and climbs 761 metres, with a 14:30 cut-off. Organiser materials mention proposed ITRA points, which should not be treated as confirmed accreditation.
The current-edition registration page advertises early-bird entry prices of CNY 558 for 42K, CNY 458 for 35K and CNY 358 for 20K, with later listed prices of CNY 598, 498 and 398. It also displays 15 December 2026 as the registration deadline, so runners should verify whether later-price entries will actually be offered. Places are advertised as first-come, first-served.
Runners should prepare for sustained mountain climbs and variable conditions, rather than road-marathon pacing. The precise race-pack collection schedule, final route GPX, compulsory equipment, aid-station plan and finisher benefits were not confirmed in the accessible current-edition information.
