Overview
Held in Beijing Yanqing in May, the Beijing Expo Park UTP100 Spring Carnival offers a flat 100k road profile with just 300 meters of total elevation gain, averaging 3 meters of climb per kilometer. Run entirely on motor-vehicle-free asphalt and cement paths measuring 4 to 9 meters wide, the race loops through a 5-kilometer circuit with 15 meters of elevation change each lap.
With a 15-hour time limit requiring a steady pace under 9 minutes per kilometer, the cut-off is tighter than 69% of 100k races and more generous than 31%. Field depth sits in the middle of the distance category—bigger than 47% of 100k fields and smaller than 53%—making pacing discipline on a repetitive loop the primary operational challenge.
