Dispel negative stereotypes of pollution in China—Yunnan Province has been rated for having high-quality air conditions. Remote areas like Shangri-La have never been afflicted by smog; Kunming is dubbed the “Spring City” due to its consistently moderate temperatures with bountiful foliage and year-round flower blossoms. The pure air and refreshing scenery makes for the perfect inaugural marathon.

The Yunnan • Qiubei International Marathon race will take place on Saturday, 24 October 2015. Race organisers advise runners to plan a 3 to 5 day travel itinerary, arriving into Kunming on the 22nd and departing on 25th.

The race currently features four distances: Full Marathon (42km), Half Marathon (21km), 10km and a 5km fun run. All competitive races will start at 7:00 a.m. while the 5km fun run will flag off at 7:30 a.m.

The marathon event will have runners coursing through narrow trails, pathways and stairs in the captivating Puzhehei scenic area in Yunnan, China. Here, there are impressive karst land formations, caves, crystal clear lakes, darling islands and lush landscapes, making for a truly unique running adventure.
