Jinshanling Marathon

The Great Wall of China was originally established during the Warring States Period more than two thousand years ago. It is a symbol of the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation and is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The marathon originated during the Greek war more than two thousand years ago, and reflects ancient mankind’s desire and pursuit for peace and liberty. It has also become one of the most classic competitive events in modern Olympic Games.

Today, two thousand years later, the collision of the cultural elements from two ancient civilizations of the world - the Great Wall of China and the Marathon will inevitably turn out to be a joyous fashion event and athletics on the concept of a harmonious spirit.

This competition will be built into a grand event of exchange between sports and culture, marathon enthusiasts and outdoor enthusiasts from both China and abroad, and humanity and historic culture.

On the basis of the previous successful event, competition specifications and service standards for the event to be held in 2014 will be continuously improved in order to provide participants with a full range of personalized services. The scale of the event will also continue to be expanded to embrace the elite from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Europe, the United States and Australia, creating a peaceful and friendly gathering!
