As the weather gradually became cold, “marathon events” have become hot events in Chongqing. After October, marathon events became more and more intensive. The Chongqing Women's Half Marathon, a "gold medal event", has become the most expected competition for female runners in the circle. The track is flat and the weather is suitable. It is suitable for the experienced runners to break PB (personal best score). The event was equipped with timing chips for all competitors, and the whole marathon team was full of a sense of ceremony. In the past two years, Chongqing has been a hot tourist city. There were many runners from other places who wanted to run marathons and visited the hot city. In addition, this year, the Organizing Committee has not only substantially increased the total amount and coverage of prizes, but also offered prizes for the top 30 of the half stage, so as to attract more high-level players from home and abroad to participate in the competition. At the same time, the first "China Speed" Award, encouraged domestic players to breakthrough themselves.
