World Climbing Series Guiyang 2026

Three days of international speed climbing finals and relay competitions in Guiyang, September 2026.

The short version. The World Climbing Series stops in Guiyang, China, from 11 to 13 September 2026, with speed climbing the only discipline on the programme. Sessions run across all three days, ending with the relay finals on the evening of 13 September. No ticketing or spectator access information has been published by the organisers.

What is on

The event is a speed-only competition. The published schedule is as follows.

11 September 2026: Speed qualifications at 10:15, speed finals at 19:30.

13 September 2026: Men's relay qualifications at 11:00, women's relay qualifications at 12:30, relay finals at 20:00.

The organisers do not state which time zone these times refer to, and do not indicate whether the schedule is subject to change.

Getting in

This is the part travellers will want to plan around, and it is the part the organisers have not addressed. As of the source listing, the following are all unpublished:

Ticket prices — not published. Whether tickets are on sale at all, or when they go on sale — not published. Whether the sessions are open to the general public, or restricted to accredited participants and officials — not published. Any registration or accreditation deadline — not published.

Equally, the organisers say nothing about the mechanics of buying a ticket: there is no statement on whether a WeChat account, a Chinese mobile number, or real-name identity registration would be required, and no statement on whether overseas visitors can purchase directly. Foreign travellers should not assume any of these questions has a favourable answer. Treat attendance as unconfirmed until the organisers publish something.

Venue and location

The listing gives the location as Guiyang, China. It does not name the competition venue, give an address, or describe how to reach it. No transport guidance is provided.

Where this comes from

Everything above is drawn from the official event page at worldclimbing.com. The page also lists tabs for results, video and news, which are presumably populated closer to the event. Anything not stated here is not stated there.

This entry was compiled automatically from the organiser's own page and every date in it was checked back against that page before publishing. Nobody from our team has been to this one, and we have not called the organisers — where they have not published something, this page says so rather than filling the gap.

Status: tier=anchor (international annual sports series worth planning a trip around). Body gives no Chinese name, no venue name (venue section only repeats 'Guiyang, China'), no organizer named — footer copyright says ifsc-climbing.org but the body never states an organizer, so left null. No ticketing or registration info in the body, hence access=tbc. region 'Guizhou' is not stated in the body — it is inferred from the city name; set to null if strict sourcing is required. The organiser's page gives a start date but no end date; shown here as a single day rather than guessing when it closes.
