We are a global pioneer connecting international runners with China's most extraordinary race experiences — rooted in history, driven by adventure.
Running upon the Great Wall
is a dream of runners
all around the world.
We are here to make
that dream real.
Great Wall Park is a New York-based company and global pioneer in promoting and selling China marathon events worldwide — and international marathon events in China. We were founded on a simple belief: the world's most spectacular landscapes deserve the world's most extraordinary race experiences.
The Great Wall of China is the largest cultural heritage site on Earth. Its construction began in the 7th century B.C. and continued for over 2,000 years, stretching across 15 provinces and more than 50,000 km. Racing on it is not merely an athletic challenge — it is a meeting with history itself.
We promise the best race experience: the most challenging course in the world, the most magnificent scenery, and an unforgettable encounter with 2,000 years of human achievement.
Every race we organize is built on these core commitments — to the runners, to history, to conservation, and to the world.
Sport transcends borders. Our races bring together runners from every continent — uniting people through shared challenge and the universal language of the finish line. We build bridges, one step at a time.
The Great Wall is more than stone and mortar — it is the living memory of a civilization. By organizing races along its ancient battlements, we honor and celebrate one of humanity's greatest achievements, inviting the world to experience it firsthand.
A portion of every race entry supports the preservation of the Great Wall. Many sections remain unmaintained and at risk. We believe those who run the Wall have a responsibility to help protect it for future generations.
We are the bridge between China's extraordinary race landscape and the global running community. Working with international tour operators, sports federations, and local governments, we make China's most spectacular events accessible to runners everywhere.
"We will bring you races that allow you to witness
the magnificent architecture of the Great Wall —
all while on the most challenging course in the world."
The Great Wall spans more than 50,000 km across 15 provinces of northern China — the largest structure ever built by human hands.
Construction began in the 7th century B.C. under the Zhou Dynasty and continued through the Ming Dynasty — a span of over two millennia.
From 10K to 168K ultra, our events challenge runners at every level. The Wall's steep stone steps and dramatic elevation make every meter count.
