The energy is off the charts at the start. It’s amazing to see thousands all bob up and down at the first few miles at the Bund and into the familiar neighborhoods. It’s different when you’ve so many on the roads.
Hard to find potties though but plenty of aid stations. Bringing your own fuel is a must.
Wish it had more riverside on the course. But limiting the out and back on the course was good.
The shirt and pair of slippers and medal were all good swag.
Too bad the previous year’s got cancelled.
Cool to see it possibly be another major in the future.
Fantastic Race!

Shanghai Marathon was one of the best ones! Huge and well organized expo! Nike T-Shirt for all runners. Start is early in the morning at the Bund – super atmosphere! The course is an all downtown course and many spectators are cheering the runners. Military bands and orchestras are playing music! Finish in a stadium. Super nice medal! Perfect race! I loved it!
