American participant Armin Rahm said in an interview: "I keep coming back to Tianmen Mountain because this road race is a very hard and challenging course. When you get to the top, you have a scenic view of the mountains, and also of the stairs. It is very beautiful."
The challenge has been held for 13 consecutive years, attracting over 20,000 domestic and international participants to date. In recent years, Zhangjiajie has promoted events that integrate extreme challenges, cultural exchange, and tourism.
Organizers said the event showcased the boundless charm of sports and the enthusiasm for national fitness, while giving the world a chance to witness the beauty of China's natural ecology and cultural heritage.
