Yuyao Siming Mountain Trail Race 2026

The Yuyao Siming Mountain Trail Race 2026 takes runners into the forested ridges, bamboo groves and mountain paths of the Siming Mountains near Ningbo, Zhejiang, on Sunday 29 November. The event is advertised with 2,500 places across four mountain races. The longest race finishes on Monday 30 November, making this a two-day competition for its 100K entrants.

Four courses and actual distances

The current-edition registration platform confirms:

• Guangmingding 100K: 100.2 km, 4,172 m ascent, 400 places, start 05:00 Sunday, 24-hour limit (finish by 05:00 Monday); advertised 4 ITRA points.
• Zhixingfeng 50K: 48.5 km, 1,929 m ascent, 600 places, start 05:00 Sunday, 13-hour limit (18:00); advertised 2 ITRA points.
• Liangzhidao 30K: 32.1 km, 1,413 m ascent, 800 places, start 07:00 Sunday, 10-hour limit (17:00); advertised 2 ITRA points.
• Shengxianli 20K: 20.5 km, 911 m ascent, 700 places, start 07:00 Sunday, 6½-hour limit (13:30). Entry is CNY 299; this race is described here rather than incorrectly mapped to an ARC 15K or 21K filter.

All race times are China Standard Time (UTC+8). The published 100K, 50K and 30K fees are CNY 1,099, CNY 599 and CNY 399, respectively. The fees are advertised starting prices; review the exact checkout total, any entry qualifications and capacity before paying.

Race base and bib collection

Saturday 28 November is athlete check-in day at Yuyao National Fitness Centre (余姚市全民健身中心). The organiser says shuttle buses depart from this venue on race morning for the Siming Mountain Red Army Primary School (四明山红军小学) start. The precise collection hours and shuttle departure timetable have not been confirmed on the accessible public registration overview, so do not assume that race-day bib collection or a particular bus departure will be available.

Registration and trail safety

The current-edition registration platform lists entries as open, with a closing time of 10 November 2026, 23:59:59 CST, or earlier when a distance fills. Registration opened 17 October. Trail conditions involve significant climbing, remote sections and a potentially overnight 100K finish. Participants should obtain the organiser's final mandatory-gear list, aid-station and cut-off information, emergency arrangements and transport guide before racing; those specifics must not be inferred from another Siming Mountain event.

Source discrepancy worth noting: One introductory paragraph on the booking page labels the shortest race “15KM”, but the current detailed race cards and checkout option identify it as a 20K category covering 20.5 km. This listing uses the more specific current registration-category data and highlights the discrepancy so entrants can confirm the correct option before paying.
