What Makes It Great

The flagship race of Ultra-Trail Mount Yun by UTMB, the 100M traverses the hills, valleys, ancient villages, and cultural landmarks of southern Shanxi Province in a spectacular point-to-point journey. Starting from Mingzhu Square in Xiangning town, runners cross rivers, climb through golden terraced fields, and pass through a thousand-year-old Dongyue Temple, the Rongzi Winery vineyards, the stone streets of Anfeng Ancient Town, and the Hualing Temple Anti-Japanese War Memorial before finishing at Zhonghe Square deep in the Mount Yun scenic area. A UTMB World Series Finals qualifier, the race showcases mid-October autumn foliage in one of China's premier national scenic areas.
