The first National Outdoor Sports Competition & Ninghai Outdoor Sports Festival will be held in Hucheng Village of Ninghai County from May 10 to 13. Over 20 outdoor sports will be carried out, including rock climbing, hiking, mountaineering, kayaking, mountain biking, roller skating, cross country racing and mud running, etc. It is estimated that there will be 15,000 participants in the activity, which will make it the biggest comprehensive outdoor sports competition and platform in China.
The National Outdoor Sports Competition is a comprehensive outdoor sports activity platform designed and carried out by the Mountaineering Sport Administration Center of China National Sports Bureau and Chinese Mountaineering Association, by learning from the mature model of some European and US outdoor festivals (such as the TEVA Mountain Sports Festival of USA) and considering the characteristics of the development of outdoor sports in China. By combining competition with entertainment and leisure, the activity involves such competitive events as the station game of the national rock climbing competition, kayaking, 20-kilometer mountain bike cross country racing, cross country skills racing and 25-kilometer cross country race in different items, and such fun events as fun mud racing, fun carnival running, upper-air Liusuo experience and fun kayak performance. In the meanwhile, there are also some cultural activities such as outdoor movie show, carnival night for vehicle riders and evening parties. All outdoor sports enthusiasts are welcome to compete in the 22 sport events and activities.
Ninghai Country boasts rich outdoor sports resources such as Siming Mountain and Tiantai Mountain, and a long history of tourism and outdoor culture. In 2009, the first national mountaineering fitness footpath was built in Ninghai County. In the following two years, as such big events as Asian Mountain Area Outdoor Challenge and National Camping Convention were held in the county, it gradually became the outdoor sports base in the Yangtze River Delta area or even in the whole East China area. The first mountain area outdoor sports competition will consolidate the county's position in the outdoor sports circle in China, and it is hoped that through the competition, more events and activity patterns suitable to the domestic situations can be figured out.
The competition is sponsored by the Mountaineering Sport Administration Center of China National Sports Bureau and Zhejiang Sports Bureau and hosted by Ninghai County Government and Ningbo Sports Bureau. It is reported that the preparatory work is now under way and the staff recruitment has started in www.mytentlife.com. Ningbo Outdoor Sports Association is responsible for the fixed-point crossing skills race as a co-organizer
