The 12th Suzhou Jinji Lake Half Marathon will kick off in SIP on Mar 12, according to the news briefing on Feb 28.


Suzhou Jinji Lake Half Marathon, dubbed a “Gold Label Road Race” by Chinese Athletic Association, is held annually in Suzhou since 2010, and has become one of the most anticipated sports events in the Yangtze River Delta region.

This year’s event, the first leg of the Grand Canal Marathon Series, will consist of the half marathon, the short-distance marathon and the mini marathon, and the routes will be upgraded to pass by more landmarks of SIP. A total of 30,000 people will compete in it.


The sportswear for runners and the medals for winners were unveiled at the news briefing. The medals are designed based on the Chinese legend about a fish leaping over the dragon gate, meaning someone has passed a competitive examination and will have a promising future. The sportswear features a pink tone and elements drawn from traditional Suzhou culture.

According to the organizing committee, there will be the upgraded “Cloud Jogging”, an online platform with virtual marathon courses for contestants to make preparations for the event, and the WeChat program called “Everything about the Event” which provides all information about the event.
