I will be living in Beijing for the next year so I decided it would be cool to try to do the Beijing Marathon while I'm here. However the official Beijing marathon website seems like it hasn't been updated at all since last year. Is there a special website I need to go to in order to sign up for the race or are the Chinese just incredibly slow moving when it comes to things like this? Thanks
I understand if you send in an extra $100. bills they supply a portable gas mask for the race.The mask lessens air pollution by 89%.
You might want to consider the Xiamen Marathon. It is very scenic and the air much cleaner:
Plus, it goes by Xiamen University with many attractive coeds. I think most of the course has ocean view.
Thanks for the heads up on the Xiaman Marathon. I was unaware of the race and will probably end up trying doing either the half or full there. However I just finished the Great Wall Marathon this past weekend and would like to do another marathon in the next 4 months or so if at all possible. If anyone else knows of one in China please let me know.
