Gobi March (China) 2005
The Gobi March 2005 course wound through the Turpan Basin in Xinijiang Province , far northwest China . The Turpan Basin is referred to as "the oven" by locals due to its steamy heat, and many Gobi March 2005 competitors can attest to that. The daily terrain was diverse and stunning taking participants through grape valleys, flaming red mountains, sand dunes, icy cold slot canyons, expanses of black Gobi rocks and tiny farming villages alive with local color and inhabitants prone to quizzically asking, "where are you going?" The end of Stage 2 saw a fierce wind and lightening storm blow through, leaving most to huddle in their sleeping bags urging daylight to come. Stage 4 took competitors up a 700-stair ascent out of the valley and along a hair-raising ridgeline and then back down and out into the open desert floor. The 56 mile (90 kilometer) Stage 6 saw unseasonably hot temperatures slowing down competitors at midday and taking some as much as 48 hours to complete the section which included a large section of sand dunes. The final stretch made it all worthwhile with the last kilometers ending in a small village, to the sounds of children and crowds cheering at the edge of Sand Dune National Park. |
