Event Report: The Great Wall Marathon.
Introduction
The Great Wall Marathon, held every year at the end of May in China, is considered one of the most challenging and beautiful marathons in the world. With its 5164 steps and unforgettable scenery, this race is more than just a marathon. I have just recently started running marathons so when a friend of mine suggested to go to China and run on the Great Wall, I immediately agreed. Visiting The Great Wall and running the marathon at the same time sounded amazing!
This event is organized by Albatross Adventure Marathons (http://albatros-adventure.com). This Danish company has been organizing this event since 1999, it arranges the registration, the possibility of a multi-day tour package ( 6 or 7 days) as well the options of fun run, half marathon or marathon, as well as the supporter option for people that don’t run. Registration, hotels, meals and transportation come in at around 1500 dollars which is good value for money in my opinion.
I decided to signup for the marathon and invited my parents to come with me and visit China. What an adventure that was!

7 Emirates Run
My name is Toni Metcalfe I am a mum of three children and I also have a passion for running. Not just any running but Ultra running. An Ultra run is defined by any distance over a marathon (42.2kms) but is usually much longer and on mountainous terrain. My last race was 100 miles long and across the south of England countryside.​​​​​​​
