History

The inaugural race was held on 24 March 2019 as a half marathon. [1] [lower-alpha 2]

The 2022 edition of the marathon was held concurrently with a half marathon hosted by the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. [7] This was also the first edition that World Athletics granted the race its Label Road Race status. [2] In addition, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine that began about a month earlier, Russian runners were banned from the event. [8] [lower-alpha 3]

The course begins outside Humo Arena, runs counterclockwise on a roughly circular route around the center of the city, and turns around after a quarter-marathon, shortly before the circle is completed. [9] Marathoners then run back to the start along largely the same route. [9] This loop is then repeated to complete the marathon distance. [9]
