The Great Wall Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and 5K. Tianjin Province, China
The Great Wall Marathon® is your chance to run a historic distance on the most historic
Asian location.
The magnificent wall was begun more than 2,000 years ago
and has evolved from a rampart made of earth to an enormous fortified wall several
meters high. Now the impressive wall has grown a little rickety and the Chinese
watchmen have been replaced by travellers and, for just one day a year, by tough
and determined marathoners.
The rugged steps and the blazing Chinese sun are some
of the things that make The Great Wall Marathon® challenging. But the exceptionally
beautiful mountain ridges of the Tianjin Province will probably keep your attention
off your tired legs and help keep you going – if the prospect of getting to brag
about running the Great Wall won’t do the job alone.
Start out by exploring this website and contact the travel agent operating your country. Then get out your running
shoes, start training and look forward to an unusual running experience, where you certainly will hit the Wall.
