(May 9,2023)

 

The 22nd Great Wall of China Marathon on May 1st,2023 was successfully held! Thank every runners,thank all the cooperation companies and thank all the distinguished team leaders and friends!

The runners at the 22nd Great Wall of China Marathon on May 1st,2023 are from 23 countries and Hongkong,they are Canada,Malaysia,USA,Thailand,Mexico,France,United Kingdom,Germany,Philippines,Australia,SouthAfrica,Denmark,Mongol,  Norway,Belgium,Serbia,Peru,Poland,India,Romania,Colombia,Ireland and China.

This is the first international marathon party in China indeed after the 3-year pandemic! There is no marathon race in China that could held non-stop in 2020,2021 and 2022,we did!We are the only marathon in Mainland China that there is no stop of the race from the founding year till now! There is no marathon race in China that could have the most enthusiasic runners who would very much like to fly the half globe from USA,Canada and from Europe and from Southeast Asia to run the race on May 1st,2023 on the Great Wall!

Beijing is the capital city of China,we have overcome all kinds of difficulties for securing the Great Wall of China Marathon to happen in the past 22 years!
For example,in 2019,three days before the race,we were informed that we could not use the Great Wall for the race,because an oversea head of state would visit the
Great Wall on May 1st,we changed the Great Wall for runners instead! In 2017,Chinese government would have the most important conference in Beijing,everywhere were
highestly controlled,we had the Great Wall of China Marathon 2017-Autumn!

The 21st Great Wall of China Marathon 2022 should be the most difficult year in Beijing,and about 20 runners could not come for the race,we are very happy to see that some of them  came and realized their dream finally on May 1st,2023! And in 2023,three registered runners could not come for the race,all your entries are valid,as we wrote that your entry will be permanently valid,you can come for the Great Wall of China Marathon 2023-Autumn on Sunday October 29,2023 or the 23rd Great Wall of China Marathon on May 1st,2024 or any of your convenient coming year! The relevant report about our such runners is here:

By the way,for the Roof of the World Marathon runners,one told us he would come to run in 2024 and for another one,the race date for him has not been decided yet,you are as the runners of Great Wall of China Marathon,always in our mind! Your entry is also permanently valid till at your proper time!

On May 5,2023,the World Health Organization(WHO) declared an end to Covid-19 as a public health emergency! Actually on April 28,2023,China announced no PCR Test required for entering China! China is completely open to the world! And we have been putting all our hearts on every runners,most runners might not know that we issued the official documents in March and in April for some runners to apply visa to China at the Chinese Embassies and Consulates in their countries.They got the visa to China very successfully for the 22nd Great Wall of China Marathon on May 1st,2023!

Here is a photo of four USA runners who flew from USA to Beijing.The original photo can be downloaded and seen at dropbox below here.There are 24 flights between USA and China now every week! 21 runners at the 22nd Great Wall of China Marathon on May 1st,2023 are from USA!
