Nanning Marathon

Packages include guaranteed entry to the marathon or half marathon, one or two nights at the four star Guangxi Jinhua Hotel, hotel breakfast and dinner on 19 December, a Yongjiang River night cruise ticket, Qingxiu Mountain admission with an electric ride, tour buses on 19 and 20 December, on-site staff reception, event-ready travel insurance and an English participation guide.

The route is flat, wide and scenic, following road surfaces along the Yongjiang River through Nanning. It is a point-to-point course that starts at Nationalities Square and finishes at the Guangxi Sports Center, which makes it well suited to runners chasing a personal best.

Nanning sits in a subtropical part of Guangxi, so December race mornings are typically mild and comfortable for road running. Runners should still check the forecast in the final week and plan clothing accordingly.

Traditional Zhuang folk songs and bronze drum performances are staged along the course, and the finisher medals incorporate Zhuang brocade and embroidered ball elements, so the local heritage is part of the race day experience.
