Getting to the finish

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Located in Hezhou, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Fuchuan Yao Autonomous County has a subtropical climate and relatively mild weather even in November.

Registration is available through the “Diyisaidao (第一course)” app or the event's official WeChat account.

The course includes many rural sections through farms, reservoir areas,

and stone-forest landscapes rather than the city center, requiring a different pace strategy from a flat urban marathon.

Times are local to Fuchuan Yao Autonomous County. Check the latest official information before the race.
