Answer New Questions from Our New Runners Today(January 3,2012)

1. We read that the run comes with a shirt, a certificate and a finisher's medal. But will there also be an actual ranking? Is there going to be an award ceremony for the top finishers? Or even each age group?

Answer: Yes, you are right, all the runners would get the t-shirt, a finisher's medal and the most important, the certificate on which the actual ranking would be immediately printed as soon as each runner passes the finish line.

It is the company which provides the timing service for Beijing Marathon would also provide the Champion Chip service and the timing service for all our runners at the Great Wall of China Marathon on May 1,2012.

When everyone finish the running, here would be a ceremony soon on the Great Walls to award the trophies to the top runners (men and women) of the full,half,10k and 5k.

We will not do that in age group at Great Wall of China Marathon 2012.

We are very happy to know that you are one of the strong runners, we would be really very happy that if you would be on the top, including all your friends also on the very top ranking.

2. Where exactly is the hotel (Zhongxie hotel) from which the pickup to and from the race will be arranged? Is is easily accessible from an airport?


Answer:We had used Zhongxie Hotel for 10 years, and from 2012,we will use a new four-star hotel for the registration, also the directing center for the Great Wall of China Marathon 2012.It is Shenzhou (Beijing) International Hotel.

It is very easy to get to the hotel from the airport.

You could read more info about this hotel from one piece of our news report and even the link of the hotel in this page:


3. The application fee is to be made to a bank in Japan. Does this
mean the hosts of this are not actually based in China?


Answer: We Chinese people set Overseas General Office of Great Wall of China Marathon in Japan. The purpose is that we could best connect to the whole world and we could go to any country very quickly and very easily
from Japan for the promotion of the Great Wall of China Marathon worldwide.

For example, we have over 7000 friends just at facebook, most of them like marathon and like running, but in Mainland China, we cannot get accessed to facebook and Youtube and twitter.

Overseas General Office of Great Wall of China Marathon is in charge of all the overseas affairs of all the runners/ participants outside Mainland China. For the overseas runners/participants working/living/studying in China,they are welcome to use our bank account in Mainland China.

4. How many people will be running this race? Will it be very crowded during the run?

Answer: There would be more than 2,000 participants for the Great Wall of China Marathon on May 1,2012.
several hundreds of them are the real runners, and most of the rest would do 10k walking.

We have already divided the different time for the participants to start, and the full marathon runners would run the different direction on westwards first.
