2026 ANTA Champion Tengchong Gaoligong Super Mountain Trail Race — in the 55 kilometer category (2202 m ascent), marathon standout Yang Chunlong claimed the title in 4:20:42.   In this race, Yang Chunlong, who competed while ill, withstood the pressure and defeated strong rivals including He Fujun and Shi Yeyuedu to win his first-ever trail running championship in front of his hometown supporters, a great start on a new racing discipline for his professional career. Just yesterday, ITRA (International Trail Running Association) finally posted this race's ITRA Performance Index on its official website: 891. The single-race Race Score reached as high as 919. As a result, at this time his Performance Index ranks 19th among all Chinese athletes. For the Gaoligong race, Yang Chunlong ran while suffering from a heavy cold. He said after the race that without the cold he expected he could have run under 4 hours. We are very much looking forward to his performance this weekend at the Huangyan Jiufeng Trail Masters, and to his participation next week in the Azalea Sea Yangchun Jilongding trail race. Could Yang Chunlong have a chance to finish in the top three at the Golden League Grand Final? Do you think Chunlong could achieve even greater success in trail running — for example, reach a top-three level in China?
