No public transit station named; venue is Olympic Forest Park North Garden South Gate Plaza (北京市朝阳区奥林匹克森林公园北园南门广场), Beijing
Per official event page (zuicool.com): race date is Sunday, August 16, 2026, 7:30 AM start.
Olympic Forest Park in Beijing is served by Beijing Subway (e.g. Line 8 Aoticun/Olympic Park stations) in general,
but the official event page itself does not name any specific subway station, bus route, or parking lot —
only the venue name and contact info.
This is general city knowledge, not race-specific instruction.
Same Olympic Forest Park North Garden venue (exact finish point not separately specified)
No distinct finish location published beyond the general park venue.
No shuttle/transit information found on the official event page;
organizer contact provided (phone 13910322371, WeChat public account '北京锐进体育') for direct inquiry.
Beijing's subway uses the rechargeable Yikatong card, sold and topped up at any station kiosk or nearby convenience store, or the Beijing Tong mobile app.
Since 2024 foreign visitors can skip the card entirely and tap a contactless Visa,
Mastercard, UnionPay, JCB or Amex bank card directly at all 490+ stations across the network.
Base subway fares start around CNY 3 and rise with distance.
Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.
The South Gate of Olympic Forest Park’s North Garden, the event venue,
can be reached on foot by crossing the park from Forest Park South Gate Station on Subway Line 8, or by taking a city bus to a stop near the North Garden.
Beijing is hot and humid in August, so hydration is important even with the early start.
Registration is handled through the zuicool platform.
Times are local to Beijing. Check the latest official information before the race.
