The marathon is a landmark event to promote the integrated development of the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan city cluster.

The registration will end at 17:00 on February 28. To be part of it, the public can register through official website. The registration fee is 50 yuan per person.

According to the organizing committee, the marathon this year has taken landscape, security, and transportation into consideration, and improved the prior route by reducing slopes and lowering average elevation. The course along canola flowers, Chinese milk vetch, and beautiful farmlands remains unchanged.

The organizing committee provides electric time-keeping, medical care, water replenishing, energy and food replenishment, deposit, ferry, shelter, and post marathon recovery for runners.
