Lihu Lake Half Marathon 2026

If you want a race that smells like a getaway without leaving the city, the Lihu Lake Half Marathon in Wuxi is exactly your plan: you run along the water, you cut through green spots, and you enjoy a big Chinese city that knows how to slow down by the lakeside 🌊.

Here, the scenery steals the show: bridges and viaducts that add perspective, stretches right up by the shoreline, and that “islands and nature” vibe that makes you forget you’re in Jiangsu Province 🏞️.

Torn between treating yourself and challenging yourself? You can choose between a 5K to enjoy yourself in discovery mode, or the 21.0975 km to take your time soaking up every panorama (and prove you’ve got guts) 🏁.

And after you finish, stick around: go unwind around Lihu Scenic Area for a stroll by the water, take a detour to Yuantouzhu (Turtle Head Isle) for the views and fresh lake air, swing by Nanchang Street for a nice walk and a few good local spots, or head to the Nanchan Temple for a quieter, more out-of-town-style break 🌆.
