Thousand Island Lake Marathon, and another PB
Last weekend I joined a marathon on tarmac again. A simple 42.2km marathon on a normal street. No desert, no steep hills, rock-climbing sections or multi-day stage race. „Just“ a simple marathon. It was a 21km track on the lakeside road at the thousand island lake in Zhejiang province, 320km away from home. 320km means, that’s a short distance and close to home …
50k Gobi Desert >>> THE MOVIE <<<
Santi Ferrando, my friend and room mate at the 50k Gobi Desert Ultra Marathon just published his self made video from our run through the desert on Nov. 8th. Most of the movie is in Spanish language, but it’s not a problem; the landscape is the main actor. 🙂 Enjoy this great video and also check out the other running videos …
Meet and Greet in Guizhou
I’m back now at home after I spent an amazing weekend down in Guizhou province for my repeated run at the Guizhou100 3-days stage run. It was now my second time here after I finished already here in 2014. It is one of my 4 favorite runs here in China. The event was 100% identical as last years run. The cities, …
New personal best!!!
Just a quick post after I finished the first marathon in this running weekend.

A weekend in the Gobi desert
This weekend I’m hanging around in the Gobi desert in Northwestern Gansu province. Exactly I’m in Jiuquan, which is also the main city for the Chinese space program. The Chinese space rockets are launched not far away from here. The 50k Gobi Ultra-Marathon is a pure invitational race. In total we are 300 runners from all around the world, sitting …
Dali100 – Another unsuccessful story
Now I’m sitting again in the bus back to Kunming airport. 5 hours bus ride on a lousy rainy day will not help to increase my mood. So the Dali100 Ultratrail was not successful for me. The race started well with 18km flat track from the start line to the foot of the mountain. The run to the top of this …
Dali100 – Pre-race day
We are finally on the way to Dali. I’m sitting now in a shuttle bus which will bring the runners from Kunming airport to Dali, one of the main tourist cities here in Yunnan. We should be arrive after a 5 hour bus ride. About the race I have not so many information as I like to have. There is …
Ninghai Trail – Review (Be your own Hero)
It’s been a while ago since I updated my blog. I’m very sorry for this. After the demoralized DNF in Ladakh at the Khardungla Challenge (I took myself out of the race after 2.5 hours with huge health problems) I wasn’t in the mood to write anything in the blog. Back in China I also was busy to earn some money that …
