The C&D Xiamen Marathon is one of Asia’s premier races, held annually in the coastal city of Xiamen, China. Known for its flat, fast course and ideal running conditions (18C – 22C), it’s a popular choice for runners chasing personal bests. The race starts and finishes at the Xiamen International Conference & Exhibition Centre and follows a scenic coastal route along Huandao Road, offering ocean views and a well-organised, energetic race atmosphere.

With World Athletics Elite Platinum Label, the marathon attracts a strong international field and accommodates up to 35,000 runners. Participants benefit from wave starts, frequent aid stations, and excellent on-course support. The event also hosts a professional expo and has a reputation for smooth logistics, making it a stress-free experience for both elite and recreational runners.

What sets the Xiamen Marathon apart is its commitment to sustainability. It was the first marathon to join the UN’s Clean Seas campaign and has won international awards for its green practices. From banning single-use plastics to planting over 130,000 trees, the event blends world-class racing with a meaningful environmental mission.
