Big, fast, and aiming for the world stage — the Shanghai Marathon is quickly becoming one of the most exciting races globally. Starting at the Bund and running past a mix of historic streets and futuristic skyline, it gives you a real feel of modern China in motion. The course is flat and quick, with long sections along the Huangpu River, making it perfect for strong, steady pacing. Now a candidate for the World Marathon Majors, this race is not just big — it’s rising fast.
