Why you dream of this race

THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

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

This Hangzhou Jiande full and half marathon marathon follows the Xin'an River, where the water temperature stays at 17°C year-round.

The route crosses the Baisha and Zijin bridges, with river mist and autumn mountain colors all around.

Thanks to the riverside air, rich in negative ions, locals call it the “lung-cleansing run”.
