01 Overview
The 1390 Archipelago Trail takes place in the Zhoushan Archipelago, China’s largest group of islands, and 2026 marks its 5th edition. Since starting on the main island in 2020, the course has kept reaching out to more islands. Trails run along island ridgelines, reservoirs and the coast — rolling mountain paths on one side, the East China Sea on the other. Only a short trip from Shanghai, it makes a perfect year-end overseas trail trip.
- Mountains meet the sea — All four distances are ITRA-certified (points pending); the 100K earns 5 ITRA points.
- Taste Zhoushan — After the race, enjoy a bowl of Zhoushan seafood noodles and the famous winter hairtail fish.
- Free scenic-area entry — Dec 11–14: free entry to Putuoshan, Taohua Island and 4 more A-rated scenic areas.
