TheBeijing Marathon (Chinese:北京马拉松) is an annualmarathon race held around October inBeijing,People's Republic of China, since 1981. The race begins atTiananmen Square and finishes in Celebration Square inOlympic Green.[a] The full marathon is the only distance offered.[3]

The marathon is categorized as aGold Label Road Race byWorld Athletics.[4][c] The course is certified byAIMS.[5][d]

Beijing Marathon is the first international sport event ever to be held in China. The race is also the first marathon race to use lottery system to allocate entries and the first full marathon race only in China.[6]

History

[edit]

The Beijing International Marathon has been organized by theChinese Athletics Association annually since 1981. The creation of the race, which was international in nature from its inception, was part of a wider movement to open up China and its culture to foreign innovations – a change which was led byDeng Xiaoping, who sought to move China away from itsMaoist past.[7]

In 1997, the marathon hosted the Chinese men's national marathon championships, with the title going to race winnerHu Gangjun, who had won in Beijing two times previously.[8]

The 2005 race served as the marathon for the2005 National Games of China –Sun Yingjie took the Games gold medal for women while seventh placedZhang Qingle (18 years old at the time) was the highest placing Chinese man and won the men's Games gold.[9]

Also in 2005, the men's race winnerBenson Kipchumba Cherono missed some 800 metres out of the course due to being misdirected. The race organisers accepted the blame for the mishap and, althoughJames Moiben was the first to finish the complete course (2:12:15), Cherono was declared the official winner as he held a large leading margin before the incident.[9]

The marathon hosted theAsian Marathon Championship races in 2006.[10]

At the 2009 edition of the race, 4897 runners finished the marathon course, which included 556 women.[1]

The 2014 edition of Beijing International Marathon was held on October 19 under intense smog.[11][12]

The 2020 edition of the race was cancelled due to thecoronavirus pandemic.[13]

In 2021, although participation was initially restricted to permanent residents of Beijing and invited domestic elite athletes, and strict coronavirus protocols were put in place, the marathon was postponed days before the scheduled date ofOctober 31 due to an outbreak of theDelta variant of the virus.[14][15][16][17] The postponement closely followed an earlier postponement of theWuhan Marathon days before its scheduled date.[16][18]

The 2022 edition finally took place in November 6, and got around 30,000 runners, becoming first Beijing Marathon since 2019 after Covid cancelled previous races.[19]

2012 Japanese entrants

[edit]

When the online registration of runners for the 2012 event started on November 8, 2012, it did so without the option for Japanese to do so. The events organizers said that Japanese couldn't enter this year because of "safety concerns" due to tension between Japan and China over theSenkaku Islands dispute.[20] The Japanese embassy protested the decision.[21]

This move attracted a large amount of criticism and on the night of November 10 the option for Japanese runners re-appeared, although there was no Japanese-language version available, which had been available the previous year.[22]

TheChinese Athletic Association subsequently claimed that Japanese runners had never been rejected. CAA Deputy Director Shen Chunde said that in the past Japanese athletes had mainly applied through Japanese organizations so no individual registration was available.[23]

Course record

[edit]

In 1986Taisuke Kodama ofJapan set a men's course record in a time of 2:07:35. Ethiopian runnerAbebe Mekonnen equaled this time in 1988 and some commentators (including theAssociation of Road Racing Statisticians) regard this as the true course record, in respect of reports that the 1986 course was around 400 m short of the marathon distance.[8]

After 27 years unbeaten, Taisuke Kodama's course record was improved byTadese Tola in 2013 as the Ethiopian beat the previous mark by nineteen seconds with 2:07:16 hours.[24] In 2019Mathew Kisorio improved the course record with a time of 2:07:06.

In 2003,Sun Yingjie of China set the current women's record of 2:19:38 – this run was anAsian record and the fourth fastest ever at the time, and it remains theChinese record for the event.[25]
