Embark on a marathon challenge in the Land of the Rising Sun 🌄, during its prime season... autumn 🍁. And it's in October when the race kicks off! The Autumn Great Wall Marathon is a special edition set against a backdrop straight out of "The Last Emperor" ⛩️, with its reddish and orange landscape thanks to the fallen leaves 🍂. Created in 1999, the Great Wall Marathon is no stranger to the running community 😎. This race, now iconic among runners worldwide, is THE marathon to do in Asia! 🌏 But the organizers have thought bigger (bigger than the wall? yes) 😳! They’ve dedicated an entire edition to the autumn season. Perfect for those who missed the April marathon or those who are passing by during this time of year.
