This event is hosted by the Changchun Municipal Tourism Bureau and organized by Jilin China Travel Exhibition and Convention Center and Changchun Jingyuetan Tourism Development Group. The competition route is divided into two distances: 20 kilometers and 10 kilometers. The novel competition format has been favored by the general public, with more than 2,000 applicants, including more than 1,000 cadres from municipal government agencies. In addition, although there are many hiking enthusiasts who missed the registration time, they spontaneously came to Jingyuetan and enthusiastically followed the hiking team to experience Changchun ice and snow and winter outdoor sports.

Outdoor snow hiking in winter can achieve the effects of enhancing cold resistance, eliminating fatigue, improving immunity and preventing osteoporosis. It is highly recognized by the public and is developing rapidly. This snow hiking obstacle course is a way to promote ice and snow sports, promote national fitness, and cultivate healthy and civilized living habits to achieve the goal of "I exercise, I am happy, I am healthy, and I am happy." Moreover, hiking through the snow in the picturesque Jingyuetan Lake not only allows you to challenge yourself while watching the snow scenery on a beautiful winter day, but also allows you to get close to nature and experience the unique charm of ice and snow in the severe cold.

During this Ice and Snow Festival, our city launched two winter outdoor sports activities, the Snow Hiking Race and the Ice and Snow Marathon, which are suitable for public participation, leading the whole people to go to the ice and snow.
