Description
This race, held on the second Sunday in December, has fast become one of the key fixtures in the Asian winter running season. Class acts from East Africa, Europe and the Americas join local runners to pound through one of the most photogenic courses on the international circuit today. The architecture is inspiring and crowds of well-wishers line the streets in support. Another reason for its popularity is the relatively flat course. There are few excruciating hills to tackle, something that attracts first-time marathon runners.
