COURSE:
This demanding course includes over 3,700 steps on the Great Wall at Huangyaguan which includes steep up and down portions. Over 6 kilometers of the full marathon are run on the Wall. All other races are on the wall for about 3km. Most of the course runs through the small farmlands and villages of Tianjin Province. Many runners/walkers opt to carry a camera during their event and not be concerned about their finish time. For many, this is an experience of a lifetime, not a race.
WEATHER CONDITIONS:
Expected temperatures range from 65 to 85 degrees. Humidity is high while running in the valleys.
