The Conquer the Wall Marathon is the longest running international marathon on the Great Wall of China. A locally organized event held annually every May 13, offering a full selection of runs including a full marathon (42.2k), half marathon (21.1k), 10k, and 5k distances.

There are many marathons around the world that claim to be adventure marathons, yet so few live up to the title. The Conquer the Wall Marathon has no equal, and is an event that separates the tourists from the adventurers. It will test you like no other race. More than 10,000 unrelenting stone steps, and no less than 30km of running experience on one of the oldest and most recognizable structures in the world.
