Strong-willed runners are forging ahead選手勢(shì)如破竹，勇往直前

In its fi fth edition, the 2016 Guangzhou Marathon, set for December 11, will see 30,000 runners of all ages and abilities hit the streets of Guangzhou competing in full marathon, half marathon and mini marathon races.Recognized as a Chinese Athletic Association (CAA) Gold Medal Race and an IAAF Road Race Bronze Label event, this year's Guangzhou Marathon fully embodies the concept of “hosting sport events for the well-being of citizens.”

The athletes will have a great opportunity to savour the unique charm of the 2000-year-old city of Guangzhou, nicknamed “City of Rams”, and the rich Lingnan culture permeating the whole city, while running along a spectacularly scenic course set alongside the Pearl River.The course will take the runners to vibrant Zhujiang New Town, grand Pazhou International Convention and Exhibition Centre, slim and graceful Canton Tower, a quaint campus of Sun Yat-sen University and many more.Each runner will have his or her name printed on the race bib, while having access to fully-staffed aid stations and water stations set up along the course.All participating runners who cross the fi nish line will receive a participation cert ifi cate after the validation of the of fi cial race results.No one can fi nish a marathon race in the absence of a strong push, both internal and external.That is why the runners will fi nd themselves cheered by stimulating tunes and thousands of spectators lining the course on the race day.

The races aside, the athletes will also have the privilege to take part in sightseeing trips and dig into diverse aspects of Guangzhou through 45 tour routes (planned around 15 themes) launched by the local tourism authority.

2016廣州馬拉松：在人文風(fēng)情中奔跑，享受個(gè)性的服務(wù)與認(rèn)證的成就，加以旅游與音樂(lè)的點(diǎn)綴。這何嘗不是在12月11日這天的青春綻放！

四年的積淀，廣州馬拉松成長(zhǎng)了。今年12月11日，它又將盡情詮釋“廣馬精神”！通過(guò)賽事看城市，把“辦賽事，辦城市”的理念體現(xiàn)得淋漓盡致，把中國(guó)馬拉松金牌賽事和國(guó)際田聯(lián)銅標(biāo)賽事的榮稱(chēng)向新的高度跨越。

廣州——極具嶺南特色的千年羊城，與其通過(guò)走馬觀花似地參觀它，倒不如參加激情廣馬來(lái)醉望它。繁榮的珠江新城、恢宏的琶洲會(huì)展、嬌俏的廣州塔、古典的中大學(xué)府等，一連串的特色美景，讓人在奔跑中生發(fā)出別樣的感嘆。身著“自家戰(zhàn)袍”（帶有名字的號(hào)碼布），沿途接受補(bǔ)給站、飲水站的洗禮，把個(gè)性服務(wù)享受到底，最后，奮力沖向精準(zhǔn)計(jì)時(shí)的終點(diǎn)，一紙證書(shū)讓人站上成就高峰。近之，美妙的自我感覺(jué)不言而喻；遠(yuǎn)之，美好的城市形象深入人心！

美景是經(jīng)受得住多次的凝望的，體育是需要源源不斷的動(dòng)力推進(jìn)的。在奔跑中匆匆而過(guò)的醉望怎能滿(mǎn)足內(nèi)心強(qiáng)大的渴望？暢游廣州的大禮包、吶喊助威的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)音樂(lè)加油站，牽引著廣馬人勇往直前。三萬(wàn)廣馬選手，在萬(wàn)千市民的吶喊助威下，綻放熱烈高漲的青春，醉望美入人心的廣州。

這場(chǎng)激情廣馬盛事，必將成為你我最別致的游覽，最狂熱的青春！

廣州市旅游局特別為廣馬奉獻(xiàn)上一席廣馬選手專(zhuān)享禮遇旅游盛宴及15個(gè)主題的45條廣州旅游線(xiàn)路！廣州歡迎您！
