The 2026 Yangling Nongke City Marathon is a signature event in Shaanxi Province, held in China’s premier agricultural high-tech zone. Scheduled for Sunday, April 12, 2026, the race is known for its "Green Course," which takes runners through high-tech farmland, research facilities, and scenic wetland parks. As a Chinese Athletic Association (CAA) certified race, it draws thousands of participants to Yangling, which is roughly 80 kilometers west of Xi'an.
For the 2026 edition, the marathon and half-marathon races are expected to start at 7:30 AM. Registration for the event typically occurs early in the year, with a lottery results announcement following shortly after. The event highlights Shaanxi's commitment to both fitness and agricultural innovation, often including a "Mini Marathon" that encourages participation from families and students from the nearby Northwest A&F University.
