Great Wall Marathon

China
15 May:

So much enthusiasm at the early morning start; so many smiles at the finish. In between 1800 people from 53 countries ran on the Great Wall of China. Full marathoners ran on it twice – 3.6km and 5164 steps.

The marathon is a tough, beautiful and extraordinary experience in the mountains of Tianjin Province, China. In addition to crossing the Great Wall, the course passes through charming rural villages where crops are being planted, spring growth is fresh on the trees and residents cheer runners as they pass by their homes.
