This year marks the 30th anniversary of Suqian’s designation as a prefecture-level city. As the youngest prefecture-level city in Jiangsu Province, Suqian has crafted a tale of late-stage catch-up over its three decades of development, and its persistent drive has also motivated the marathon runners on the course. The 42.195-kilometer race path not only weaves together Suqian’s stunning spring landscapes but also reflects the attentiveness and care of the event’s service and support at every turn. The large-scale painting project “Painting Suqian in Danqing: The Most Beautiful Suqian Marathon Route” invited painting enthusiasts to create an impressive 300-meter-long giant scroll, which fully displays Suqian’s urban transformations, cultural charm, and ecological beauty over the 30 years since its establishment. Forty lively “Suqian Marathon Babes” were stationed at each kilometer marker and the finish line along the route, infusing participants with forward momentum through their enthusiastic cheers and warm smiles. Sixty music cheering stations and themed performance areas were spread across key points on the track, featuring diverse artistic forms such as pop bands, traditional folk music, and dynamic drum and dance performances, transforming the 42.195-kilometer race path into a music festival that merges unique Suqian characteristics with youthful vibrancy.
