CMG

CMG

The CMG is 81 km with 4,600 metres of climbing and a maximum race time of 22 hours, a long loop through central Moganshan. It passes bamboo areas such as Muzhuwu and Yangwukeng, landmarks including Hemu Bridge and Mengling, historic trail sections at Miaoxiaban and Wuling, and villages such as Ganmiaowu and Shangjiangwan. The main climbs are Gaowuling and Maling, and the trail ranges from secluded forest paths to open ridges.

There are six aid stations: Luoxin Valley, Hebu Ling, Yinzishan Village, Fatou Village, Xiangshuiling Resort Hotel and Biwu. The 21:00 start puts the first hours in the dark, and the 22-hour limit runs to Saturday evening. It is the night race of the weekend, for a runner who wants the full Moganshan bamboo-and-ridge experience without the 32 hours of the DMG.

For family, a night start means waking up to find out where the runner got to. On Livebib the runner shares a link to their own broadcast: position on the course line, distance covered and a finish estimate that updates through the night. Where the phone loses signal under bamboo, the position is carried forward along the course and marked as estimated, never shown as measured. The runner decides who gets the link.
