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.
