The BMW HTC China Relay begins 2 ½ hours northeast of Beijing at the Taiwoo Ski Resort in Zhangjiakou, site of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games. Runners traverse down the mountain, through Chongli and along rolling farmland, up another challenging mountain and back down into a rolling grass skyline course where participants finish in Central Plains at Prince Lake with a big celebratory finish party with live music, food, drink and additional entertainment.
