THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

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

This full and half marathon marathon runs for around 40 km along Zhuhai’s coastal promenade, Qinglv Road (情侣路, Lovers’ Road).

The route links coastal landmarks including the Mermaid Statue and the Sun and Moon Shell Opera House.

With most of course beside the sea, it is considered one of China’s standout coastal-view marathons.

The highlight of the Zhuhai Marathon is the route along Qinglü Road (情侣路, Lovers' Road), the city's signature coastal promenade.

Along this coastline, which runs from the north near the border with Zhongshan to Hongwan, around 40 km of course follows the waterfront,

passing a succession of major landmarks including Xianglu Bay, the Zhuhai Fisher Girl statue,

Yeli Island, and the shell-shaped Zhuhai Grand Theatre, known as the Sun and Moon Shell.

Full marathon starts at the east gate of the Sports Center, with the morning sea breeze,

before continuing onto a coastal course framed by mountains, sea, and urban scenery.
