Guiyang Marathon & Colorful Guizhou Marathon Super League (3rd stop)

The Guiyang Marathon is a leading road race in southwest China and the third stop of the Colorful Guizhou Marathon Super League. Held in Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province, the event is widely known as the “Most Refreshing Marathon” thanks to its cool climate and lush natural environment. With a forest coverage rate of over 55%, Guiyang is often described as a “natural oxygen bar,” offering runners clean air and comfortable racing conditions. The course features a mix of urban roads and green landscapes, showcasing the city’s unique blend of modern development and natural beauty. One of the highlights is the iconic “Hero’s 18 Slopes,” a rolling highland section that adds rhythm and challenge to the race without being overly demanding. Combined with enthusiastic local support and strong race organization, the Guiyang Marathon provides an enjoyable experience for both competitive and recreational runners.
