Tengchong Marathon

Since its debut in 2015, the Tengchong Marathon has become a signature event that welcomes over 13,000 runners each year. Set in Tengchong, celebrated as “China’s Emerald Capital,” the race invites participants to run through a city of rolling volcanoes, hot springs, and centuries of history along the ancient Southern Silk Road. Every finisher is awarded a distinctive jade-inspired medal, a symbol of both the city’s heritage and the runner’s achievement. More than just a race, the Tengchong Marathon is a journey through culture, nature, and timeless beauty.
