On January 10, 2027, the Chongqing Marathon is set to take place at海棠烟雨公园 (Haitang Yan Yu Park) in Chongqing, China. The race features one marathon distance of 42.195 kilometers and will start promptly at 8:30 AM. For those hoping to participate, it's important to note that once the number of applicants exceeds the limited quota, entry into the event will be determined by a lottery system. Registration is expected to open in early September, so interested runners should keep an eye out for updates and announcements from the official channels. The Chongqing Marathon holds significant prestige within China as it is recognized among the top events by both the Chinese Athletics Association and World Athletics, earning Gold Label status. It also participates in the prestigious series of the China Marathon Grand Slam competitions. Known affectionately to runners as the "Hot Pot Marathon," this event offers a unique blend of local culture and athletic competition. While Chongqing is famously known for its challenging 4D terrain, the marathon course follows a flat and straight path along the banks of the Yangtze River, providing an ideal setting for athletes aiming to achieve personal best times. The scenic route alongside the river not only offers stunning views but also a smooth surface that minimizes fatigue. Registration can be completed through the official website (www.cqmarathon.com) or via the social media platforms "重庆马拉松" and "重庆重马体育." Participants are encouraged to stay informed about updates leading up to race day, ensuring they have all necessary details for an enjoyable and successful experience.
