This marathon is a World Athletics Gold Label Road Race set in Dongying, where the Yellow River meets the sea, and the course passes through the young estuary ecosystem. It begins and ends at the Dongying Municipal Government Building and weaves through the city via historic streets like Yizhou Road.

Why attend here

October in Dongying brings crisp, pleasant weather to the Yellow River Delta, where the reeds turn golden and migratory birds gather at the estuary. After your run, explore the wetland boardwalks and watch the river meet the sea, then warm up with a bowl of local seafood noodles or fresh braised fish from the nearby markets.
