In fall 2017, Jason Schlarb and Meredith Edwards traveled across China to compete in one of the gnarliest mountain races in the country, the Ultra Trail Mt. Siguniang.

It’s an off-the-beaten path event that includes both a 60K and 100K, with the highest average elevation of any race in the world. Suffice to say the scenery is as breathtaking as the ascents.

Episode 1 of Run Around the World reveals their experience discovering China’s customs, food, and landscapes while meeting a growing community of runners exploring the region’s western frontier. Stay tuned for more episodes to be unveiled over the coming weeks.
