Xtrail 50K

Xtrail 50K

The landmark of this course is Xiaobaiyue, which the organiser describes as the southernmost peak, a symbolic edge of Taiwan with ocean on three sides. Getting there means crossing the scenic heart of the Hengchun Peninsula on continuous, undulating ground: technical root systems, uneven riverbeds, loose gravel and open grassland. The ascent is modest for the distance, so the difficulty sits in the footing and the humidity rather than in any single climb.

The 50K carries two Running Stones in the UTMB World Series. Cutoffs and aid stations are not listed in the race page text. Check the organiser’s time charts and the mandatory equipment list before race week. The start comes 90 minutes after the 100K, so both fields share the Saturday morning on the peninsula.

This page belongs to the 2027 Xtrail 50K. With 13 hours on the clock, a finish can come anywhere from early afternoon to evening, and the people at the resort want to know which. A runner who shares their Livebib link lets family see the position on the course line, the distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as they go. If the phone drops signal down in a riverbed, the position keeps moving along the course and is marked as estimated, never as measured.
