A Runner's Question about the Dates of Great Wall of China Marathon 2017(November 20,2016)


It is over 3PM Beijing Time on October 20,2016,and about 20 minutes ago,we received an email from one of our runner who asked the question about the dates for the Great Wall of China Marathon 2017 and below are the questions and our reply:

Good evening,

I am currently researching marathons on the Great Wall of China and have become rather confused. From my research it appears that (besides the Great Wall Marathon on May 20th 2017) there are two dates for the Great Wall of China Marathon – May 1st 2017 and May 13th 2017. As I want to register for a marathon and book my flights, I would appreciate some clarification on this matter.

Kind regards
Y. M.(name ommitted)

And here is our reply:
