At 8:00 November 6, Beijing time, the long-awaited Hangzhou Marathon with thirty years of history started at a pistol shot. More than 32,000 runners from 50 countries and regions including the US and Japan raced in the competition, among whom there were many vigorous teachers and students from Zhejiang University City College.

  Whether richly adorned or plainly dressed, the autumn of Hangzhou is always elegant and romantic, which is now especially appealing with the G20 elements blending in. For participants, this Marathon is less a challenge but more than a journey!
