As a mass sports event with a long history in China, the Beijing Half Marathon, which debuted in 1956, is now a grand festival for many long-distance runners.
Entrants for this year's event are required to be 16 or older and must have completed a marathon within six hours or a half-marathon within three hours between January 1, 2022, and February 29, 2024. Documentation of participation in online marathons will not be considered valid.
Additionally, around 20,000 qualifiers are expected to participate in the half-marathon, which will start from Tiananmen Square in the heart of Beijing and finish at the landscape avenue of Beijing's Olympic Park.
