THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

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

A half marathon circling Juxian County in Shandong, a 3,000-year-old historic city.

Starting and finishing at the Civic Fitness Center along the “two cities on one river” axis, it is a closed-road loop course.

A county-level event running through late autumn in Juxian, known for its ancient ginkgo trees.
