UTMB Reopens China

UTMB just announced today, a new addition to the UTMB race calendar: the Ultra-Trail Ninghai:

Ultra-Trail Ninghai started in 2013. It is a trail race held in East China’s mountain area. Four hundred years ago, Xu Xiake, a travel writer in ancient China, started his 34-year-long great journey from here and traveled throughout China.

But, for now Ultra-Trail Ninghai will only be open for Chinese runners:

We hope to welcome runners from all around the world in 2024, for the time being for the 2023 edition, due to current health restrictions we cannot welcome runners from outside of China.

And the TransLantau race is now a real, not virtual/hybrid race anymore, and a new date is set for 10-12 of November.

An amazing journey on the largest of Hong Kong’s islands; the mountainous Lantau island lies at the mouth of Pearl River.

This brings the total of UTMB World Series events to 35.

• 1 World Series Final in Chamonix.
• 3 World Series Majors in Spain (Val D’Aran in July), Thailand (Doi Inthanon in December) and of course the North American one is Canyons (in Auburn in April).

The Electric Cable Car UTMB events calendar is updated!
