Lanzhou Marathon 2027

If you’re looking for a race that blends big city, collective energy, and a total change of scenery, the Lanzhou Marathon ticks every box ⚡.

Here, you run through Lanzhou to the beat of the cheers, with that thrilling feeling of having the city as your playground—between major avenues and the banks of the Yellow River 🏙️.

You choose your adventure: 21.0975 km for a fast, intense treat, or 42.195 km to go after a day you’ll remember for a long time 🏁.

And if you’re coming with family, it’s even better: the event also caters to kids & juniors, perfect for turning the weekend into a mini family celebration (and avoiding the classic “how long are we waiting for you?”) 🎈.

After the finish, I’ll guide you just a stone’s throw from the start: a stroll along the quays of Binhe Road to catch your breath, a must-stop at the Zhongshan Bridge for the souvenir photo, a detour to the Yellow River Park to recover in the greenery, and a climb up to the White Mountain Pagoda (Baita Shan) for a view that’s absolutely worth a few extra steps 🏞️.

In short: you run, you travel, you feast your eyes, and you leave with a story to tell… Lanzhou will have you saying “come back” without even trying 😉.
