As May arrives, the number of marathon events in China is on a downward trend — with rising temperatures, suitable marathon locations are concentrated in the north and west. In May, the most noteworthy marathon is the Lanzhou Marathon. As a World Athletics Gold Label event and the most influential road race in the northwest region, it is also this year’s Asian Games selection race; who will emerge to represent China at the Asian Games is naturally a major focus. Of course, besides the Lanzhou Marathon, there are many locally distinctive marathons worth checking out, such as the Dali Marathon. Sunday, May 17 is the day with the most races — seven events start simultaneously. Although there aren’t many marathons in May, there are four marathons during the May Day holiday — will you be running any? #marathon schedule #Lanzhou Marathon #marathon #trail-running boom
