Why you dream of this race

THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

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

From Huangshan’s north gate to Taiping Lake—China’s first mountain-and-scenery point-to-point marathon,

billed as “Over the Mountains to the Lake.” Starting at Fuxi River, it passes rural scenery before finish at Heping Bridge beside the lake.

Full marathon is a point-to-point route from the mountains to the lake, while half marathon is an out-and-back course at the mountain foot.
