Stations & transport near the venue

Getting to the start

起点：北滘门广场 (Beijiao Gate Square), Beijiao, Shunde District, Foshan.

Official site states regional transit only: Foshan Metro Line 3 reaches the Daliang area of Shunde;

Guangzhu Intercity Rail has stations at Shunde and Rongqui;

~20 min drive from Guangzhou South Railway Station;

~1.5hr from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport.

No specific station name, line-to-venue walking distance, or bus route to the start venue was stated.

Per official site (nowrun.cn/race/303), directly stated.

The site links to detail pages hosted on WeChat which could not be fetched due to a verification block —

those articles likely contain the actual shuttle bus and detailed transportation plan, but were not accessible this session.

Getting to the finish

终点：陈村花卉世界展览中心 (Chencun Flower World Exhibition Center), Chencun, Shunde District, Foshan.

Same regional transit context as start.

Stations & transport near the venue

Shunde (Foshan) is connected to the Guangzhou-Foshan metro network via Guangzhou Metro Line 7's westward extension into Beijiao,

so the Yangchengtong (Guangzhou's IC card) works on these lines and is rechargeable at metro stations and convenience stores.

Buses and metro also accept QR-code ride codes via Alipay or WeChat mini-programs;

dedicated contactless bank card tap-to-pay is not yet standard, so a rechargeable card or mobile QR code is the more reliable option.
