Pro tips

  1. 01

    Flat and Fast

    With only 60 m of total climb, the course is essentially flat. Lock into an even pace from the start and avoid surging on the long lakeside stretches.

    Cool Conditions

    Typical race-day temperature is 11.7°C. That's ideal for marathon racing, so dress in layers you can shed and expect to warm up as you go.

    Lakeside Views

    The route loops around Taihu Lake and Lihu Lake during cherry blossom season. Enjoy the scenery, but keep your eyes on the road and your pace steady.
