Abstract

This essay recounts a CH50 trail run on Tiantang Peak, the highest peak of Guangzhou, at 1210 m above sea level, in Conghua. On the morning of 6 March the runners set off before dawn with headlamps and climbed toward the summit.

The author reflects on trail running as a form of meditation and self-cultivation, quoting essays on mountaineering and “Zen running”: running in the open mountains, alone, the focus gradually returns to one's own body and breathing. The 50 km loop route was completed in 8 hours 10 minutes.
