The elite race for men will be 20k. The race will consist of six loops around the designated 3,3k track in Badaling.

This race is for kids in the age from 14-18. The track is 5k, three loops on the 1,7k track.

In a stunning company relay, the 4 people in the teams, including one female team member will race for the honor of their company. Everyone will wear the number bib with company logo, and enjoy a VIP treatment with a great buffet lunch afterwards. We also provide one free bike rental, which is sufficient for a relay race.
