Hangzhou Qiantang Women's Half Marathon 2026

If you’re craving a race that truly makes you travel, the Hangzhou Qiantang Women’s Half Marathon hits the nail on the head, right between an elegant big city and nature just around the corner ✈️.

Here, you run in Hangzhou, the pearl of Zhejiang, with a 100% women atmosphere that boosts your spirits as much as your smile—and you can feel it from the very first meters 🎽.

The course takes you between a vibrant city, welcoming parks, and watery horizons, with that “postcard” vibe that makes it feel like the kilometers fly by all on their own—almost 😉.

After the finish, I recommend extending the magic just nearby: a stroll around West Lake (Xihu) at sunset, a detour to Leifeng Pagoda for the view, and a wander along Hefang Street to snack and bring back a souvenir, without rushing 🏯.

If you’re coming as a couple or with family, keep it simple and perfect: a boat ride on West Lake, a photo stop at Broken Bridge, then tea and a local sweet in a lounge near the lake… the perfect way to end the day on cloud nine 🍵.
