A
Word to All Full Marathon Runners-Part
1(April 5,2015)
Good morning,everyone!There are
only 26 days to go for the 14th Great Wall of China Marathon on May
1,2015.
As the organizer,we think about
alll the runners day and night,we are making our greatest efforts
for all runners.
What we now concern most is not
5K runners,not the 10K runners,and even not the half marathon
runners.They all would enjoy the race very much with within a few
hours,and most half marathon runners could finish the race in about
6 hours.
We concern most is all the full
marathon runners.You should get in your mind that you are going to
run the most difficult marathon in your life,and you would run the
most difficult marathon in China.
Most full marathon runners could
finish the race in about 9 hours or 9 hours 30 minutes.There could
be some full marathon runners that even running more than 10
hours,you could not finish the race.We are imaging and could feel
your feelings that how sad and how disappointed you would feel at
that moment.
The time limit is 10 hours,and
if we could see that you would not finish the race,we realize that
you might take more than 10 hours,or 11 hours to finish the race,then at about 9
hours 30 minutes,we would stop your running,and lead you back from
the short-cut to the Finish line,remember that just by walking to
the short cut,it would take you about 30 or 40 minutes back to the
Finish line.So please listen to our direction on the walls.
In the past few years,we could
see that some runners even insisted to run,more than 10 hours,or
even 11 hours,we remeber one year that a female runner ran even till
8:30PM in the darkness on the walls.Such thing would never never
never be allowed this year.
If such things happen,we would
definitely stop you.But we would truely feel so regret that you
could not finish the race.Please be happy that you can come to run
the next year.
We remebered very clearly that 5
years ago,three Japanese girls came to run the full marathon,they
could not finish the race,we stopped them,they three kneeled down on
the finished line there cried so painfully,it was not that they
cried that we stopped them,it was the cry that they feel so regret
that they could not finish.
The following year,they came
again,and they all completed the full marathon,they were so happy
that moment.In the June 2013,one of the three girls got married,and
their marathon friends made a video present for their wedding,with
the Great Wall of China Marathon(GWCM) as one of the most beautiful
memory in her life.
We will continue to say more for all our full marathon runners
tomorrow.Thank you all very much!
