Hohhot has a metro and buses generally covered by the local Qingchengtong transit card, alongside the WeChat/Alipay mobile QR pay common across Chinese cities. As with most secondary Chinese cities, dedicated cards are not set up for short-term foreign tourists, so taxis or ride-hailing apps are the more practical choice for race logistics.
Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.
Chlerchuan Grassland, the venue (the Inner Mongolia Ethnic Minority Cultural and Sports Center),
is about a 30-minute drive from downtown Hohhot, so race-day shuttle or car travel is essential.
This grassland course at the foot of the Daqing Mountains has little shade, making a hat and sunscreen essential.
Highland mornings are cool, so an extra layer is useful.
As entry is by lottery, do not miss the pre-registration window.
Times are local to Xincheng District. Check the latest official information before the race.
