With a new course for 2026, the enhanced route rises to 4,200m for the 100k and 60k routes creating a challenging experience for athletes. As one of the toughest races in the world, this adventure race expects to attract overseas runners as part of a plan positioning the country as an attractive destination for athletes.For the second edition, 3000 runners will participate across three categories: Extreme Glacier Odyssey 100k, Icecap Chaser 60k, and Trail Blazer 40k. Organised by Letour Sports together with Kailas FUGA, the FUGA Glacier Extreme Challenge Gongga 100 has been carefully designed, working closely with the local government and community.

The FUGA Glacier Extreme Challenge Gongga 100 is unique because of the humid yet high-altitude climate and tough terrain so we require athletes to wear helmets whilst on the glacier.
