China to host first Marathon in Tibet
The 2004 International Half Marathon Championship will be held in Lhasa, capital of Southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, in mid-September, which is the first time for China to host a marathon in this high-altitude region. The competitive events include a half marathon, five-kilometer and 10-kilometer races. Moreover, amateurs can participate in a five-kilometer walking race. It is expected that more than 2,000 runners will take part in the challenge. They will start from the square in front of the Potala Palace and finish at the Tibet race course, passing by famous scenic spots such as the Dazhao Temple and the Sela Temple. |
