Why you dream of this race

THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

This is a full- and half marathon marathon around the lakeside promenade of Hanfeng Lake in Kaizhou, Chongqing.

The course links landmarks such as the old city site, museum, and Fengyu Langqiao along the lake.

Using the 46-kilometre lakeside route opened in full in 2025, it is a broad, flat, waterfront course.

the Kaizhou Gymnasium, Tai'an Bridge, Xunsheng Bridge, the Liu Bocheng Memorial, Xiao'erhai, the Fengyu Corridor Bridge, Juzi Yuan, and the Wenfeng Pagoda.
