Registration starts Jan 15, 2012. EARLY BIRD RATE IN EFFECT UNTIL FEB 29.
This 3 day ultra will be staged in both Lijiang and Shangri-La country side areas to take in the best the area has too offer and a different course than 2011, keeping in mind you will only have 1 night to acclimatize the course will be on average 2500m but you will be reaching 3200m for a short time before descending to lower elevations. Stunning locations and very fun for hiking or for the serious runners. Mainly old dirt roads, dirt single tracks and not very technical meaning you can go fast on the downhills.
Many flights leaving daily to Lijiang from Kunming, Shenzhen, other major cities plus extras always being added so not difficult to get there. If you need help on flights email us.
