From 2015 to 2026, the Nanjing Marathon has gone through a full decade.
Only 37000 people registered for the first session, but this year it has exceeded 200000 people.
The “new generation” who once stood out in hundreds of national competitions has now grown into a city event exclusively for Nanjing.
At the first Southern Marathon, many runners may have only wanted to run a marathon in their hometown; Ten years later, the track still passes through familiar streets, rivers, and skylines, but the appearance on both sides of the road, the experience of runners, and the rhythm of the city are quietly updated in the sound of gunfire year after year.
A marathon, like a ruler, measures not only the distance of 42.
195 kilometers, but also the upward growth scale of a city.
