The running world was shaken recently by the tragic news that 21 people died while taking part in an ultramarathon in China.

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.
