Now the race has opened for online registration on the official website and WeChat official account "Chongqing Marathon." The registration time will last till Nov. 10.

The start line is set at Nanbin Road for players to develop their personal best because the path is flat and the altitude change is minimal. The track will pass through many Chongqing landmarks, such as seven Yangtze River bridges, Chaotianmen, Yanyu Park, and many other historical and cultural landscapes. The race could help advocate a healthy lifestyle and a marathon spirit of persistence and show Chongqing city's scenery, charm, and vibrancy.
