Adventure Racing Lakeside Great Wall Series originates from Adventure Racing World Series (ARWS). ARWS is an endurance race where teams compete in a range of disciplines including, for example, navigation, trekking, mountain biking, paddling and climbing. Mixed gender teams of four competitors compete in 3-10 days covering distance ranging from 300 to 800km. It’s a series of up to a dozen races held in locations spread across the globe.




In 2016, XTRAIL organized Asia’s 1st ARWS race in Altay, Xinjiang province of China. Thule Adventure Team from Sweden won the 2016 race.  Due to reasons beyond our control, we cannot continue with the Altay race anymore. Adventure Racing Lakeside Great Wall series keeps the bone and soul of ARWS but significantly decrease its difficulty level to better suit the Chinese market.


 

【Race Location】


Lakeside Great Wall is also called Huanghuacheng great wall. It is divided by reservoirs, and some parts are even immersed in the water.




It’s the only place in Beijing where you can see both water and the great wall together. Here you can enjoy not just the great wall but also beautiful clear lake, lush forest, running streaming along the race course.
