Athleticism aside, the epic drone footage in this vid offers some “ooooh”-worthy views of stunning Chinese landscapes.

The event itself is the Wulong Mountain Quest, in which teams of four ultra-fit individuals tackle filthy mountain bike trails, steep climbs, knackering abseils and freezing lake-swims before staggering across the finish line.

The prize purse for 2015’s event is a hefty £22,300, so you’d best start training right now. Or, simply sit back and enjoy this amazing video while eating a fig roll. Up to you.
