Description:Run the most demanding marathon of your life along one of mankind's greatest monuments! Since its inception in 1999, The Great Wall Marathon has become revered as one of the world's most challenging marathons. Throughout the years it has developed from mere 350 runners to a sell-out event of 2500 runners, novices and experienced alike. Join us for an unforgettable adventure, together with other running-minded spirits, friends and family.

The full marathon takes runners along the spectacular Great Wall in Huangyaguan, threading through local villages. It is known as one of the world's most challenging marathons due to its hilly routes and inclusion of 5,164 steps on the Wall. The surface consists of gravel, asphalt, and bricks. Participants must be at least 18 years old. The race has an 8-hour cutoff time.
