BEIJING, Sept. 10, 2025 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--
The Bank of China Beijing Marathon 2025 officially opened for global registration at 10:00 AM on September 10. Global participants can register on the Beijing Marathon website (https://en.beijing-marathon.com/) or the Bank of China website ( https://www.boc.cn/en/ ).
The race will begin at 7:30 AM on November 2, with an expected 32,000 runners taking to the course for a golden autumn run in Beijing at its most beautiful season of the year.
Beijing is the world's first city to have hosted both Summer and Winter Olympics. Beyond the venues and events, its Olympic legacy has fostered a growing culture of "making sports part of the daily life," inspiring more people to recognize the importance of sports and participate actively. Beijing is now striving to build up its reputation as a "Global Sport City," backed by robust urban management, a thriving sports industry, and citizens' passion for athletics. The Beijing Marathon is an experience worth participating in firsthand.
First held in 1981, the Beijing Marathon is one of China's longest-running races, with this year marking its 43rd edition. The course brilliantly connects Beijing's historical landmarks and modern architecture, from Tiananmen Square to the Bird's Nest. Known among Chinese runners as the "National Marathon," it is a dream race for many.
