There are Langshan to its north and Helan Mountains to its south; in the east are the Hetao plain and the Yellow River, while Jilantaizhen is at its west. It’s among the eight biggest deserts in China: 10,000 km2, with 110 km from east to west and 170 from north to south. Note down, and then sign up!

【DAY 1 - ROUTE 45KM】

You might run for days and nights without seeing a single thing. It’s depressed for sure, but be patient. Old villages and wild camels are ahead; ruined forts and aging trees are waiting as well. You might also meet breathless forerunners if lucky enough. Trunks, lakes, houses, undercurrents are unexpected gifts. Illusions always exist, in this mysterious desert. 

【DAY 2 - ROUTE 54KM】

Keep going on, on and on, into the desert. The longer you run, the more powerful mind you get, to conquer the changeful weather and difficult environment. You go on, on and on, until the sun rises up to the top. In the middle of your view stands a bald tree…. No, not one but seven, twist altogether. The Seven Tree is a famous spot in Wulan Buhe. However, numerous sand mountains along with the enormous desolation and isolation are for you to challenge before reaching here. Real beauty is no cheap thing.

【DAY 3 - ROUTE 12KM】

Two more days in the desert, followed by something exciting. Sunshine sprays all over the highway, cheerfully leads you run across several sand mountains with notifications of red flags. The destination is not far anymore. However, between you and the line, there is one more thing: a 10-floor high sand mountain. After crossing it will you see achievement and proud. This is the final challenge of the whole challenge. With your courage beyond its height, you run beyond the limit.
