High-altitude marathon at 1,890m in the 'Spring City' of Kunming. Course passes Dianchi Lake with mountain backdrop views. The altitude is the main challenge — the terrain itself is moderate with some rolling hills through the plateau city.
Why attend here
December in Kunming brings crisp, mild days perfect for a plateau run, with Dianchi Lake and the surrounding mountains providing a scenic backdrop. After the race, explore the lake's shoreline trails and the city's relaxed parks, then warm up with a bowl of local 'crossing-the-bridge' rice noodles, a hearty Yunnan staple that's as comforting as the region's gentle pace.
