Register for the 2019 Beijing Marathon at BJU

Attention, marathon runners! The 2019 Beijing Marathon is coming up in November this year. For the sixth time in a row, Beijing United Family Hospital (BJU) will be proudly supporting the event as the official offline registration channel and the exclusive medical sponsor. Offline registrations at BJU will be held from September, 16 to 21. If you plan to run across the finish line this year, this is your chance to get the pass. Read on for more details. 

This year's Beijing Marathon will take place on Sunday, November 3. The route will start at 7:30 am and will take the runners to pass iconic Beijing landmarks like Tiananmen Square and the Olympic Village until the runners reach the finish line at the Bird's Nest stadium. 

BJU is an official offline registration channel for foreign competitors and the exclusive healthcare provider. This is the sixth year that BJU has been supporting the marathon runners through registration to providing medical assistance on the day. 

As you may know, there is a limit to how many Chinese runners (including those from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) can register, but there is no limit to the number of non-Chinese nationals that can participate.

To register, however, you must meet the registration requirements set forth by the Beijing Marathon, including the following:

• age above 20 years (or born before December 31, 1999), and

• participation in a full marathon (from January 1, 2017, to August 1, 2019, inclusive) with a certificate; or

• participation in a half-marathon (from January 1, 2018, to August 1, 2019, inclusive) with a certificate.
