2020 Chengdu Marathon: LAST DAY to Register
🏃
The Chengdu Marathon is the first marathon race in China to pursue the prestigious Abbott World Marathon Majors in which it aspires to join the ranks of the six members. The event will be evaluated over the next few years to determine if Chengdu will become the seventh World Marathon Major.
Over the past three years, the Chengdu Marathon has attracted 78,000 runners, becoming an emerging power in the marathon race series in China.
In 2020, for obvious reasons the race will have a limited capacity of 10,000 runners - and will only offer the full marathon (42.195km). As is the case every year, luck has to be on your side, because a lottery system will decide who can take part.

It is much easier to sign-up/ login via a computer (rather than on your phone), fill out all information and the questionnaire, and finally proceed to payment. If you have completed a full marathon in China in the past, be ready to submit that information.
Other options are via the QR code below or “马拉马拉” App, though these are all in Chinese.

Chengdu Marathon Route Map
The race will start from Jinsha Site Museum and pass by Wide & Narrow Alley, Renmin Park, Tianfu Square, Anshun Bridge, Wangjiang Pavilion and other historical/ cultural attractions, towards Tianfu Finance Center, then heading further South passing Global Center and way down South of Europe Center, where they will turn back North to the old Exhibition Center. It will definitely be an extraordinary experience for the runners with such an amazing course.
Transportation
During the event, there will be temporary traffic control on some roads during the marathon this Sunday, please pay attention to make a detour.
Last year the Chengdu metro operated 30-45 minutes ahead of schedule on the morning (and participants and race staff can take the subway for free), though this will only be confirmed later on this week.
