Zhangzhou Museum

FINISH

Zhangzhou Museum, Zhangzhou

Based on the previous race (2025), course uses Zhangzhou Museum as both start and finish.

It passes Wugongshan Road, turns right onto Nanjiangbin Road, passes the Zhangzhou Olympic Sports Center, runs along Nanjiangbin Road before turning back,

then goes via a side road through the Longjiang Suiyue rice-field landscape, Qiaobushe,

Longjiang Beer Plaza, and under the Nanshanqiao Bridge, before returning via Wugongshan Road to the museum.

Course, which runs along the riverside, combines a nostalgic street redeveloped from industrial heritage, a night-market district,

and a pastoral landscape of rice paddies and canola fields, letting runners enjoy both urban and rural charm at once.

Field size: Half marathon 6,000 people
Grade: CAA Grade C
Typical race-season temperature: around 19°C (66°F): Short sleeves — hydrate for the warmth
