Pre-Race / Registration

I booked via a travel agency, so everything was organized (i.e. waivers, course maps, etc.) They offer an inspection day, where they drive you out to the Great Wall the day before to inspect the course. I didn't attend as I was still jet lagged, after arriving that morning, but I heard it was very useful...

Course

The course was very challenging given the 5,000+ steps involved, coupled with the heat (100F+) and virtually no shade on the Great Wall. With that being said, there was ample water and medical staff spread across the Wall.

Overall

It was a race that was organized, and have no regrets in doing this!
