The GW100 trail run was designed around the most prestigious part of the Great Wall, known as the “Jinshanling” section". The route runs across the Yan Mountains, which is a major mountain range to the north of the North China Plain. This race allows people to immersively experience Chinese culture, through the exciting approach of trail running.
This is the group we initially chose to leave out. But later was added to the event after numerous requests from kids' trail running clubs and passionate parents. Age was set to 8 to 16, only by referral and invitation. The racing route is very similar to the adult's 10k route, with the Great Wall section reduced by about a kilometer, to slightly control the difficulty for the younger group.
