About the Guangzhou Marathon

The Guangzhou Marathon is a premier running event in southern China, offering participants a unique blend of modern cityscape and rich cultural heritage. Starting in Tianhe Sports Center, the course takes runners through the heart of Guangzhou, passing iconic landmarks such as Canton Tower, Haixinsha Asian Games Park, and along the scenic Pearl River. With a relatively flat profile and typically mild autumn weather, this IAAF Gold Label race provides an excellent opportunity for personal records. The enthusiastic crowd support and festive atmosphere make the Guangzhou Marathon an unforgettable experience for both local and international runners.
