玄奘之路八百流沙极限赛
XUANZANG ROUTE - ULTRA-TRAIL GOBI RACE
一段比距离更远的旅程，一场比挑战更丰富的人生。
Run further than youever imagined possible – take on a chAllenge that you thought you never would.
这是中国第一个世界级的超长距离越野跑赛事，它为来自全世界的越野跑爱好者——无论你是专业跑者，还是业余高手，只要你有勇气、有能力——提供一段非同寻常却极为真实的旅程，来锻造一个强悍的自我，去探索大漠戈壁的自然盛景、以及丰厚的文化遗存。
Xuanzang Route isChina’s first super ultra – distance race. We welcome both professional and amateurrunners to test their stamina, strength and will in this unique EVENT, in thesplendour of the unforgiving Gobi desert, running through millennia - old ruins.
“八百流沙”出自盛唐时期玄奘法师所著的《大唐西域记》，又称“莫贺延碛”，今甘肃瓜州到新疆哈密之间的荒漠戈壁。据记载：这里“长八百里，古曰沙河，目无飞鸟，下无走兽，复无水草”。白天“热风如火”，晚上却又“寒风如刀”，气候变化无常。
The race concept is basedon the journey of a Buddhist monk, Xuanzang, who, fifteen centuries ago,travelled through the wilderness of the Gobi, in the modern day Gansu Provinceand Xinjiang AUTOnomous Regions of Western China. Xuanzang’s memories of hisnineteen year journey are told in the classic of Chinese literature – Great Tang Records of the Western Regions.This is how this book describes the area where the race is now held: “For eighthundred li, there is nothing butbarren sand and dry river beds; there is not enough water to nourish even ASIngle blade of grass, one looks for birds in the sky and beasts on land, butfinds none”. The climate here is brutal and the weather can change in a blinkof eye. In the words of Xuanzang himself: “When it is hot, the heat sears youlike a flame, when it is cold, the wind cuts your flesh like a knife”.
