I decided to take on a brutal 55KM ultra marathon through the mountains of Youzhou, China 🇨🇳. What could possibly go wrong?
What started as an exciting adventure into China's beautiful mountains quickly turned into one of the toughest physical challenges I've ever faced.
We climbed towering mountain peaks, battled our way through dense bush, descended into remote valleys, and ran along some of the most spectacular mountain trails in China.
But as the kilometres passed, the heat became unbearable. Struggling with heat-related illness, dehydration and complete exhaustion, I began to wonder whether I would actually make it to the finish line.
55 kilometres of mountains, sweat, suffering and spectacular Chinese scenery. This was certainly an adventure I won't forget anytime soon!
Come along as I attempt to survive the Youzhou 55KM Ultra Marathon and discover just how far I can push myself.

Ryan Shane Palmer sets out on a 55 km ultra marathon through mountain terrain in China, which the description calls Youzhou. At the start, he says the route begins at 200 m altitude, climbs to 1,600 m, and includes sand, cliffs and mountains. He admits he expected rolling hills and a river run, and says he did not prepare much for the incline. During the early stages, he carries a couple of liters of water and stops at drink stations. The trail has narrow, rocky sections and steep climbs and descents. Palmer speaks with other runners and comments that the course takes more skill and technique than he expected. He passes through villages, refills drinks and eats food at aid stations. As the run continues, he describes fatigue, heat and difficulty running downhill; he also mentions being about halfway through, then later says he has around 12 km left. He says a course marker and tape are set near a cliff edge, so runners need to pay attention. Near the end, he reflects that he should have understood the course better and learned to run downhill on gravel. He says gel shots and Gatorade felt like too much sugar for him and made him feel sick, then describes recovering somewhat after eating watermelon. He finishes the event after starting just after sunrise and finishing just before sunset. The transcript says May 23 but does not give a year. Several place-name renderings are unclear, so the exact city and peak are not identified.
