Race planning
Plan Soochow International Ultramarathon
Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.
Edition notes: The 2026 date comes from two calendars, not from Soochow University itself. The IAU race calendar lists the race for December 5, 2026, and the Chinese Taipei Association of Ultrarunners (CTAU) calendar lists December 5–6 on the Waishuangxi campus track, names Soochow University as organizer and marks the race as one of Taiwan’s selection races for the 2027 IAU 24H World Championships. On October 20 we found no 2026 announcement on Soochow University’s own website, and the race’s Facebook page and registration page could not be read. CTAU gave September 15 as the entry deadline, and a race-listing site shows entries closed. The IAU calendar shows no label for 2026; Soochow University reported Gold Label certification for the 2024 and 2025 races after they were run.
