Chi Lingjie, who is nicknamed the "Big Boss" by the trail running community, snatched the championship in the 168-km women's category. This was her third time participating in the race, following two previous withdrawals.

She described the purity of running through the night in the Gaoligong Mountains wilderness, saying that the occasional call of birds accompanied the trail, while the rest of the forest produced an untouched silence rarely found.

In the darkness, she felt less pressure. Free from distractions, she stayed calm and focused, moving forward with determination through the night, she said.

Throughout the longest race, the runners wore headlamps for safety. They needed to complete the run within 47 hours, pushing through elevations ranging from 1,200 to 2,500 meters. The difficulty is equivalent to climbing from sea level to the world's second-highest peak and then returning.
