Attention, friends! The 2017 Wuxi International Marathon is coming in nine days. Here is information about the racing route.
The whole race, from the crossroads of Taihu Road and Yinxiu Road to the Wuxi Sports Center, is divided into seven phases, which is also useful for half- and mini- marathon runners.
The first 5km to Huanhu Road is for warming you up. During the next 8km, you will run into the most beautiful section of the route along Lihu Lake. Then, you will reach Changguangxi Bridge after completing a gentle 2-km-long slope. When reaching Jiangnan University, you've finished the first half of the race. Next, run along Wudu Road and across the Changguangxi Wetland Park. Pass the Wuxi Grand Theater and Lihu Bridge to reach the finish line.
