April 12, 2026, a memorable day in Chinese marathon history. At the Beijing Half Marathon, Wang Wenjie dramatically lowered the men's national half-marathon record — cutting 31 seconds off the time set last year by Yu Shuiqing at the Meishan Renshou Half Marathon. 2026 is shaping up to be a year of record-breaking for Chinese marathon. It's only been four months — will we see more records fall? #TrailRunningBoom #WangWenjie #2026 Beijing Half Marathon #marathon #ChineseHalfMarathonRecord
