The Great Wall of China Marathon Autumn

You are not actually running on the GREAT WALL, except for abt. 2km!!! There is no clear indication of the real track in the website, so I supposed was all on the GREAT WALL, and I was so wrong!! You are in the middle of nowhere and you climb on the wall with a wood ladder (is that legal in a race???), once you complete the hiking to get to the wall. I thank a lot all the running mates and all the staff that made this experience fun despite the track.

I was so happy I did not signed up for a longer distance, due to the actual track!

It was a truly amazing experience. Organisers were so helpful and kind. Shigematsu san was so helpful and fun as well as helpful! Having the Great Wall closed to all except the participants was so special and a huge honour. It was hard and we all struggled, but to run on the Wall kept a smile on our faces! Highly recommended. One thing is that I wanted to take the photo with all the runners together! Thanks.

Long enough! Amazing wall! Wish if the running part of the wall was little longer?
