ACG 2026 Chongli 168 Yunding 30 had the largest number of participants among all categories, with nearly 2,000 runners entering the race. Brand representation was also diverse — we counted 40 brands in total across the field. Do you recognize them all? Although it was a short-distance race, the overall top-three ranking was exactly the same as that of the longest 168 category: KAILAS, Salomon and HOKA still held the top three positions, showing their very strong grassroots support. Home-team ACG ranked fourth. How many of you, like me, bought your race shoes at the ACG EXPO before the race? Eighteen brands had double-digit participant counts. Anta Champion rose into the top five — improved product strength has brought them more users — while emerging brands like NNormal and Norda are beginning to make their presence felt. Domestic outdoor specialist brands are also beloved by many runners, and international brands like LA SPORTVIA are increasingly appearing on Chinese runners’ radar. On the other hand, international brands such as ASICS and BROOKS, which previously focused more on the road-running market in China, are beginning to push into the domestic trail running market; both had booths at this year’s Chongli EXPO. In the future, China’s trail running shoe market is likely to see more challengers and competitors. #Chongli168#trailrunning#trailrunningshoes#trailrunninggear
