Pick up your bib, check your wave.
So on race morning, you can just run.
Participant Packet Pickup pickup information has not yet been announced.
Chinese races typically announce the pickup location and time through their official WeChat account 1–2 weeks before the race; participants generally must bring their own ID, and proxy pickup is not permitted.
Start/finish confirmed at Dongpo Urban Wetland Park, Zizhan Avenue, Meishan. Nearby bus stop for packet pickup: 'Wetland Park East Gate'.
A-level China Athletics Association race that added a full marathon distance in 2025.
Finish also on Zizhan Avenue within the wetland park.
No dedicated race shuttle documented in available sources; likely reliant on local city buses/taxi from the Meishan East HSR station.
Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.
In past years, finishers have received discounted or free admission to more than a dozen nearby attractions,
including the Sansu Shrine (details should be confirmed via official race notices, as terms may change).
Bib and race-day items (bib, timing chip, race backpack, technical T-shirt, poncho, commemorative wristband, energy gel, salt tablets, sponsor gifts, etc.) are handed out on-site starting two days before the race (Suxun Road, Dongpo City Wetland Park, near the East Gate bus stop of the wetland park);
pickup by proxy is not allowed, and each runner must pass a chip-scan test immediately upon collection.
Runners flagged during the health screening must present blood pressure and ECG results from within the past 12 months,
so it's safer to prepare these in advance.
In early November, Meishan, Sichuan, has late-autumn weather with large temperature swings between morning/evening and midday,
so it's a good idea to bring a warm outer layer.
Times are local to Meishan. Check the latest official information before the race.
