Spartan's children's race comes to Moganshan on 14 November, and its training base has opened

The Spartan children’s obstacle race comes to the Moganshan International Tourism Resort (莫干山国际旅游度假区) on Saturday 14 November, a week after the adult race. Deqing News (德清新闻网) reported the date on 9 November, in its account of the adult weekend. Close to 4,000 competitors from 40 countries and regions ran on 7 and 8 November, 350 of them foreign nationals, by the paper’s count. There is no independent figure.

The paper gives no start time, venue within the resort or entry details for the children’s race. The adult race’s registration page did not list it either when this site read it in October.

The adult courses, as Deqing News printed them, were longer than the round 5, 10, 21 and 50 km on the registration page: 6.22 km with 24 obstacles, 10.46 km with 29, 21.84 km with 37 and 56.6 km with 74. The obstacle found only here had runners carry a length of moso bamboo on one shoulder through a bamboo grove, China News Service (中国新闻网) reported.

The base, open but not yet bookable

Both reports say Spartan’s permanent training base, the Warrior Tribe (勇士部落), opened with the adult race. Built with the county’s culture and tourism group, it is the brand’s third in China after Beijing and Shenzhen, and its first in the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang region. The organiser describes everyday training, obstacle challenges, short holidays and study trips for school groups, with training camps running between races.

In September, Deqing News put the base on the site of the former Discovery adventure park, and Zhejiang Online placed that park inside the Jun An Li (郡安里) resort when it opened in 2016. The October opening the developer gave in September slipped to the race weekend. Neither report gives a price, opening hours or a way to book, and this site found no booking page for it, so it is reported here as opened, not yet trading.

For now, the date that matters is Saturday 14 November. A family hoping to enter a child should watch for the organiser’s entry details, and anyone hoping for an empty weekend near the resort should pick another.

What this means for a visitor: A visitor with children can aim for the obstacle race on 14 November, a visitor wanting a quiet weekend around the resort should expect a busy one, and nobody should travel for the base itself until it publishes prices and opening hours.
