Stations & transport near the venue

Getting to the start

Yanggu County National Fitness Center Square (start/finish) - no metro or in-town train station; nearest is Liaocheng regional rail then bus or taxi

Stations & transport near the venue

Yanggu is a small county town with no subway or dedicated in-town rail hub, so visitors typically arrive by taxi/Didi or coach from Liaocheng.

Local buses and taxis run on WeChat Pay or Alipay QR codes (or cash) rather than tap-to-pay bank cards, so set up Alipay's tourist transit pass before race day.

This is essentially a car-access rural race.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

The county has neither a metro system nor a city-centre railway station,

so visitors must travel as far as Liaocheng’s regional railway station and transfer to a bus or taxi.

In practice, this is a road-access race, with most visitors using taxis, Didi or intercity buses from Liaocheng.

Local buses and taxis accept WeChat Pay or Alipay QR payments and cash rather than contactless bank cards,

so it is best to set up Alipay’s transport pass for international visitors in advance.

Entry fee costs RMB 120.

Times are local to Yanggu County. Check the latest official information before the race.
