Chongli 168 Ultra-Trail

Opening — "One Horn Call": before the gun, a single horn call ran through the ages, from hunters in the forest to today's runners, building to the moment 13,000 runners actually set off into the summer mountains. Closing — "You Are Chongli": we handed centre stage to the people who have kept the mountain safe for ten years. Sanitation, medical and traffic teams and the media who filmed every edition each told their story, then pressed the start horn together — "Chongli 168, see you next year."
