The event in a few words

The Nanjing Xianlin Half Marathon is 21.0975 km of pure fun between city and nature, in a corner of China where lakes and ponds make you want to lengthen your stride without even thinking about it โœ….

Here, you run in Xianlin, in Zhejiang Province, with that mix that always works: urban sections that bring the buzz, then greener breathing spaces where you recover with your eyes as much as with your legs ๐ŸŒฟ.

The format is perfect if you want a real challenge without making life complicated: long enough to make you proud at the finish, smooth enough to enjoy the scenery and the crowd, and think, โ€œOK, Iโ€™m signing up for that oneโ€ ๐Ÿ.

After you finish, donโ€™t rush off right away: just a stoneโ€™s throw from the start, you can take a stroll by Xianghu Lake to catch your breath, or head for West Lake (Xihu) in Hangzhou for a waterside walk worthy of a postcard ๐ŸŒŠ.

If youโ€™re coming as a couple or with family, keep a simple, effective option in mind: take a walk along Hefang Street for the atmosphere and little finds, then end at Lingyin Temple for a calmer momentโ€”so you can go from effort to letting go without changing the vibe ๐ŸŽ‹.
