Extreme Enough To Run 100km? Sign Up For The North Face 100 Now

The North Face 100 returns this year for its third outing in China in May. The Beijing event - which takes in the varied terrain of Changping District - is part of the outdoor clothing company’s distance trail running tour in Asia.

To highlight the extreme nature of the sport, this year’s 100km race will start an hour earlier to allow more runners to complete the distance. For those pretty sure that an hour extra is not what is keeping them from running 100,000 metres there are also distances of 50km and 10km to tackle.

10km – RMB 335
