The event in a few words

The Xi’an Marathon is the perfect chance to get your heart beating to the rhythm of a city where every street tells a story—and where you write yours as you run 🏯.

You pick your challenge: 7 km to enjoy yourself without burning out, 21.0975 km for the right balance of discovery and pride, or 42.195 km to go chase your personal legend 🏅.

Here, you’re not just running “in the city”: you move through a culture & history backdrop that makes you want to look up even when things heat up—between urban vibes and unusual spots that remind you Xi’an is a living open-air museum 📸.

After the race, stick around and treat yourself to a real reward: a stroll along the Xi’an City Walls (perfect to loosen up your legs), a detour through the Muslim Quarter to snack and feel the city buzz, a stop at the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower for the classic that hits hard, and if you want a calmer moment, head to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda for a feel-good break 😋.

Whether you come solo, as a couple, or with your crew, this trip has a special flavor: you run, you explore, you savor—in short, you do Xi’an… without needing to be asked twice! 🎎
