The 2025 Guangdacheng Guiyang-Qingzhen Half Marathon is set to commence at 8:00 am on Oct 19 in Qingzhen, Guiyang. The 21-kilometer course has already attracted 8,000 eager runners.

This year's route showcases the diverse charm of Qingzhen. Starting from the Siji Guizhou Hot Springs, runners will pass through the bustling Yunling Middle Road, the prehistoric wonder of Dinosaur Town, the ancient streets of Shiguang Guizhou, and the trendy Wuyue Plaza.

Along the course, participants will be able to enjoy vibrant ethnic dances, resonant mountain songs, and dynamic cheerleading performances, creating a "cultural track" where tradition meets modernity.

Qingzhen has also curated a special package for participants, featuring discounts at renowned hotels and unique homestays, with exclusive rates ranging from 15 percent to 25 percent off. Runners can also enjoy an 8 percent discount on local delicacies with their race credentials. Shopping discounts with additional exclusive vouchers are available at Shanshan Outlets and Wuyue Plaza.

Moreover, Qingzhen offers four themed post-race tours: extreme challenges, cultural heritage, refreshing water activities, and culinary explorations. These tours encourage participants to extend their stay beyond race day and fully experience the allure of Qingzhen.

Using this half marathon as a platform, Qingzhen aims to deepen the integration of "sports and cultural tourism". The event is also part of the Guiyang and Gui'an "1+4+N" event system, enhancing Guiyang's vibrant sports culture and inviting elites from various fields to experience Guiyang's dynamic development.
