Yunnan is famous for its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate - perfect for holiday and relaxation. But it's also getting famous for something completely different. Have you ever heard of 100k ultra marathons at elevations of over 3800 meters and other unique running events? Together with our partners at UTRMA (Ultra Trail Run Marathon Alliance) we combine local marathons and other runs with some days of traveling in China's most beautiful province!

Started in 2014 with the goal of not only visiting but also challenging Yunnan's special landscapes by running, the sport events got more and more popular and in the meanwhile attract up to 500 people from all over the world. Building on that success, UTRMA arranged and is arranging six unique running events in 2016, five in Yunnan and one at The Great Wall in China's north.
