The 2017 Jiulong Lake International Half-marathon Race was held in Zhenhai District on the morning of April 23. The event is the largest half-marathon race in Ningbo, as well as one of the top eight Class A half-marathon races in China.
The race was initiated in 2015. The race route, from the Citizen Square of Zhenhai District to the Jiulong Lake, is a combination of urban elements and rural beauty. With its beautiful scenery, the route was entitled "the most beautiful marathon route" at the 2016 China Marathon Conference. Compared with the previous sessions, this year the race attracted more participants, with 5000 runners for the half-marathon race, 1000 for the short-marathon race, and 4000 for the mini-marathon race.
With the theme of "health, love and environmental protection", the marathon race has started a "running fund" since its beginning in 2015, to help the students in need in Zhejiang Province.
