The 20th Gobi Desert Challenge Info Session 2025

Are you a runner and ready to push your limits? 

You are invited to the ultimate challenge of physical and mental endurance in the Gobi Desert.

Every year, a group of alumni from the Nanyang EMBA (Chinese) programme self-fund and embark on a 121 km trek spanning over 4 days and 3 nights in the Gobi Desert. This annual event serves as a test of endurance and teamwork for top Asian business schools with Chinese EMBA programmes.

Our Nanyang EMBA (Chinese) alumni are extending an invitation to all NBS Alumni from any programme to join them this October 2025. You can either opt for the full 4-day challenge or start with a 1-day experience.

We invite you to attend the info session to learn more. You'll hear from Chen Dong, NBS Alumni and Chairman of the NTU Gobi Team Alumni Association, who will share his firsthand experience conquering the challenges of the Gobi Desert.
