The running world was shaken recently by the tragic news that 21 people died while taking part in an ultramarathon in China. The mountainous 100km race took place in high winds and freezing temperatures, and the runners are understood to have died from hypothermia. An investigation by the Chinese government is taking place, with many people suggesting the tragedy was the result “human error” as much as natural disaster. One UK runner who has raced in China more than most is James Poole. Having completed the Ultra Gobi, despite suffering from hypothermia halfway through, James has some key insights into what makes China an enticing but potentially hazardous destination for ultrarunners.
