“I really like this place. The Huangpu Marathon has its own character, and at the course I could see not only high-rise buildings but also natural scenery, making it a completely new race experience for me.”

Korabau Dzmtry, a runner from Belarus, took part in the 2024 Huangpu Marathon for the first time. He gave a memorable account of the unique course experience of seeing both high-rise buildings and natural scenery.
