About This Race
The 96.4K represents the premier challenge at Ultra-Trail Xiamen, positioning runners just shy of the century mark while demanding serious ultra preparation and pacing discipline across Fujian's coastal mountain terrain. This distance attracts experienced ultra runners seeking a substantial test without committing to the full 100K, requiring careful energy management through multiple climbs and technical descents over what will likely be a 12-15 hour effort. The course pushes runners deep into the night or early morning hours, making navigation skills and mental fortitude as crucial as physical preparation for tackling nearly 100 kilometers of challenging Chinese mountain trails.
