[Edaily Reporter Lee Seon-woo] NOL, operated by Nol Universe, has launched a unique trekking and trail running package that takes participants running along the Great Wall of China, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. This is the first offering in the “China World View Expedition Series,” introduced as part of a Korea-China cultural exchange program jointly organized with Shengde City in Hebei Province, China. Moving beyond simple sightseeing at historical sites, this is a “Special Interest Tourism” (SIT) package tailored to the preferences of running enthusiasts.

The unique trekking and trail running package unveiled this time bears the title “Bucket List Holic: The Most Overwhelming Track on the Great Wall.” This 3-day, 2-night “Trekking Trail Running Expedition” package allows participants to choose one of three courses (10km, half marathon, or full marathon) along the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In addition to running, light trekking is also available, making it accessible even for beginners with limited experience.

The itinerary departs on September 4 via Korean Air or Asiana Airlines and returns on Sunday, September 6. Accommodations are at the luxury “Jinshanling Great Wall Inn,” which offers a panoramic view of the majestic Great Wall throughout the entire stay. After the race, there will be a medal ceremony for finishers, followed by an “Official Finishers’ Party” to facilitate interaction among participants.

The itinerary also includes sightseeing tours, such as a visit to the “Summer Palace,” a representative imperial garden of China, and Beijing’s trendy cultural and arts district, “798 Art Zone.” On the morning of the third and final day, a unique program is scheduled where participants will run while admiring the beautiful sunrise over the Great Wall. Prices start at 1,159,000 KRW per person based on double occupancy, including fuel surcharges.

A representative from Nol Universe stated, “This package is a unique themed tour that allows participants to experience the best run of their lives on the world’s largest wall, stretching along the majestic ridges of the Great Wall,” adding, “We plan to continue introducing differentiated SIT packages that combine attractive outdoor spots around the world with hobbies.”
