Guilin Marathon 2026

If you want a race that makes you travel as much as you sweat, the Guilin Marathon ticks all the boxes—and even the ones you didn’t plan for ✅.

Here, you run in the city but with a real breath of nature: rivers that catch the light, bridges that make you feel like you’re changing scenery with every stride, and parks where the crowd carries you without smothering you 🌿.

You choose your adventure: 5 km to treat yourself and soak up the atmosphere, 21.0975 km for the big tour of sensations, or 42.195 km to go chase your personal “wow”—Guilin will give it back to you in spades! 🏁

And after the finish, stick around the start area to turn your medal into the perfect weekend: a stroll around the Two Rivers and Four Lakes, a photo stop at Elephant Trunk Hill, a climb up Fubo Hill to gain some height, or a walk around Ronghu & Shanhu Lake when the city lights up in the evening 🌙.

If you’re coming as a duo or with family, it’s simple: a waterside walk, a quick loop through a park, then a good local meal to relive the race (and exaggerate a little—it’s allowed) 😋.
