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.
Don’t miss the premiere of Season 2 on Monday, March 22, exclusively on Men’s Journal.
