The Miyun Marathon is your big breath of fresh air just a stoneโs throw from Beijing, with a race that takes you from city vibes to waterside spots that instantly calm everything down ๐.
Here, you pick your adventure: 42.195 km to live a true epic, or 21.0975 km to treat yourself without burning your last cartridge ๐ .
The course has that little something extra: bridges and viaducts that give you perspective, lakes and ponds to breathe, and an โoffbeat placeโ vibe that gets you out of the classic neighborhood loop ๐.
And if you come with your crew, itโs even better: the event also caters to kids & juniors, perfect for turning the day into a mini family party (and avoiding the famous โwhen are we going homeโ)! ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ
After the finish, Iโll guide you on an easy walk around the start area: go check out the Miyun Reservoir to chill by the water, take a detour through the Miyun Olympic Forest Park for a laid-back stroll, and head all the way to the Great Wall at Simatai (or Gubei Water Town right next door) to end the day in full postcard mode ๐.
A next-gen platform helping sports enthusiasts of all levels discover territories and heritage through races tailored to them.
