The Shanghai International Marathon is an annual marathon in late autumn hosted by Shanghai, China, since 1996. The marathon is categorized as a Platinum Label Road Race by World Athletics.[4]

The marathon starts at the Bund Bull and finishes at Shanghai Stadium.[5]

History

The inaugural race was held in 1996 as the "Shanghai International Citizen Marathon".[6]

For the 2020 edition of the race, due to the coronavirus pandemic, only the full marathon was run, the field was limited to 9,000 runners, and the finish was moved to the West Bund Art Center.[3][2]
