Hi,Bob,

Thank you very much for your greatest attention and efforts.

>I got two questions regarding the full marathon course elevation. Is this possible there an extra >up down from our drawing because I thought we would only need to visit the point C three times >however it looks like we need to visit C 4 times from your drawing.

Point C is on the flat road,because we also add another 2K+2K on F,so we pass the C four times.

>Secondly, which tower is the point C at? It looks like a sharp descending from there to the >valley. Do you know how many stairs to get from C to the bottom? thanks if you can let me know >the details so that I can calculate my pace. thanks

C is the bottom,and B is Tower 10,there is no stairs from B to C.The Olympic Construction is between B to C,and it is not difficult as what you see on the course map directly.

The most difficult steep part of the course on the Great Wall for the full,half and 10K runner is what you can see from the second part of the video here. The reason the course map looks steep is because from the highest point to B,there is just over 1K comparing to the 42K distance.It would take about 15 minutes for the well-trained runners from the highest point to B,the Tower 10.

The course for the full and half marathoners is easier than the course we had in past two years.

Here is the time and the finisher percentage at the 16th Great Wall of China Marathon 2017:
Full Marathon Male 8:41:20
Full Marathon Female 9:13:47
65%

Half Marathon Male 6:10:24
Half Marathon Female 6:35:10
90%

and we estimated that the average time for the full marathoners at the 17th Great Wall of China Marathon 2018 is around 7 hours and 30 minutes and the average time for the half marathoners is around 5 hours.

Thank you very much from all our hearts again,and Best Regards to you and all your family and your best friends!

Sincerely Most

For the full marathon,there are 10,016 steps/stairs on the Great Wall.

For the half marathon,there are 5,008 steps/stairs on the Great Wall.

For the 10K,there are 2,504 steps/stairs on the Great Wall.

For the 5K,please look at the 10K elevation map,the 5K runners just turn back from 2.5K point on the Great Wall.

The 5K runners are mostly the child runners and the runners who have never run the marathon and the runners who would like to try and taste the run on the Great Wall very much.It would take more than 1 hour to finish the 5K.

All the runners start together at 7:30AM.  A is the START!
