Great Wall of China Marathon 2024-Autumn

About this event

The 29th edition of the Great Wall of China Marathon (GWCM) in 2024-Autumn marks another year of this prestigious event that has been held annually for the past 23 years. Since 2016, we have been organizing the Great Wall of China Marathon in late October, providing a unique experience for participants.

Whether you are a 3-year-old 5k runner or an 81-year-old full marathon runner, you will have the opportunity to enjoy top-notch professional services that are exclusive to the Great Wall of China Marathon.

For those planning to participate in the Great Wall of China Marathon 2024-Autumn, we offer official certificates that can be used for visa applications to China. These documents are accepted at Chinese embassies and consulates worldwide. Additionally, if your visa is nearing expiration, we can assist you in extending your stay in Beijing, China. Our successful track record in this regard was evident during the 23rd Great Wall of China Marathon 2024.

Exclusively available on ACTIVE.COM, we are introducing a new service where team captains can facilitate registration and payment for team members, streamlining the process for group participation.

The Great Wall of China Marathon (GWCM) has evolved into a premier event where participants not only showcase their marathon skills but also forge lasting friendships with elite runners from across the globe.
