The Hangzhou Marathon is nicknamed "China's Most Beautiful Marathon Course", offering a route that passes a UNESCO World Heritage site (West Lake), crosses the historic Qiantang River, and finishes in an Asian Games stadium. The course uniquely connects two UNESCO World Heritage sites — West Lake and the Grand Canal — with remarkable precision along a single route, passing more than 20 iconic landmarks and cultural sites.

Why attend here

In early November, Hangzhou's West Lake is wrapped in the soft golds of late autumn, making the willow-lined causeways and ancient pagodas feel like a moving scroll painting. After your finish at the Asian Games stadium, warm up with a bowl of local Dongpo pork and a cup of Longjing tea, then take a slow boat across the lake to soak in the misty hills—this is running through a living poem.
