2025 Spartan Race spotlights Shenzhen as sport destination hub
On 15th March, the globally renowned obstacle racing event, the Spartan Race, commenced its 2025 season at Bijiashan Park in southern China's Shenzhen city.
The mass participation event featured the Kids Race on 15th and 16th March, and will be followed by the Sprint, Super, and the intense 4-hour Hurricane Heat for adults on 22nd and 23rd March 22 to 23. Additionally, the Tough Mudder Kids event will take place at the same venue on 19th April.
These international sports events, hosted in downtown Shenzhen's parks and business districts, will inject fresh energy and urban charm into the city and the Greater Bay Area.
Since its debut in the United States in 2010, the Spartan Race has captivated the world with its demanding courses and diverse events, now held in over 40 countries and regions. The first day of the exciting Kids Race drew over 6,500 young participants.
Bijiashan Park, the race venue, is centrally located in Shenzhen. Adjacent to the UpperHills urban complex, the park is a popular spot for sport and leisure among locals and a key component of Shenzhen's Five-park Connectivity Plan, exemplifying the city's "Park + Business" model.
As a key partner of the race, UpperHills utilises its distinctive business model featuring ‘town, shopfront and mall’ to deliver comprehensive services for the event.
During the event, UpperHills will serve as a rest area for participants and spectators, hosting a range of cultural and leisure activities. It will debut the International Exotic Plants Show & Sale from 28th to 30th March.
The Greater Bay Area Flower Show 2025 is also set to take place from 28th March to 6th April at Bijiashan Sports Park-UpperHills.
As a premier international urban complex in Shenzhen and a key cultural hub in the Greater Bay Area, UpperHills is at the forefront of creating diverse consumer experiences. Through a vibrant array of international cultural and sports events, it plays a pivotal role in elevating Shenzhen as a global hotspot for spors, culture, and commerce.
