Many very great runners are applying to participate the Great Wall of China Marathon 2010 these days, we would like to introduce them to you all in the coming days .

Today we got the the online application from Miss.Sarah Milner, and we would like to show you all our answer to her concerned questions:

>Do you only confirm the application once you receive the money?
All the runners would get the confirmation as we get the online application! And once the entry fee comes to the bank account of the Great Wall of China Marathon, the runner would be 100% confirmed.

> Can you please confirm that you have received my application form and that there are still places available in the race?
Your online application we received today is below this email. And there are still places available in the race on Friday May 1,2010.

> Also, when will runners receive their race packs or do we collect them in Beijing?
All the runners would receive their race packs when they arrive in Beijing before the race, Normally from around April 25-30,2010.

> Is there a preferred hotel or hotels we should stay in?
All the runners could choose any hotel they would like to overnight(stay) in Beijing. It would be very convenient for our runners if they stay at Zhongxie Hotel in Beijing, and our buses every year leave for the Great Walls from Zhongxie Hotel in the early morning of May 1.

> Are there buses or other transport provided from the hotels to the race start line?
The fee for the buses is also included in the 188USD entry fee. Our buses would carry all our runners and their family members(supporters) to the Great Walls and the buses would take all our runners back to the Zhongxie Hotel. From the parking lot at Jinshanling Great Wall to the start line on the Great Wall, it would take about 15 minutes on foot.

> Is there a baggage area to leave bags of spare clothes etc for after the race?
We have our special people(staff) in charge of all the spare clothes of all the runners before and after the race.

And we also do appreciate all the people in many places who have been working hard for Great Wall of China Marathon 2010,and we would like to introduce them to you all within the 143 days.
