- On Easter Sunday, April 21st, I took part in the famous Great Wall of China Half Marathon - a gruelling 21km run / hike along the famous Great Wall of China with 2,000 other experienced adventure racers.
I was NOT prepared and did none of the right training. There were endless steps, crazy steep and slippery pathways but some how I managed to succeed despite the heat, tiredness and aching legs and a knee injury.
Well done to my friend The Life of Jord for also completing the half marathon in record time!
One of the most difficult races in the world, one of the most challenging marathons and an adventure to last a lifetime!
Honestly there were so many steps and steep pathways you could hardly run at all. it was more hiking and climbing and crying!! Tell me, would YOU run this race??
I'm from Beijing. Welcome to Beijing. Congratulations on completing the challenges I can't possibly meet.
You and Jord have just become my 2 new favorite vloggers
Awesome stuff, keep hammering this great content out!
WOW! You legend!!! I'd love to do this sometime! Even though you feel knackered, you're totally glowing at the end! So much fun pushing your body in a run, the most I've done is the Angkor Wat run and I felt somewhere between the fittest I've ever felt and dead by the end ;-)
I really want to do that one next!!
I want that medallion. But I think I can do only quarter marathon at most.
Look at your beautiful smile!!! Great job; I'm going to look into signing up because of you.
awww that's so good to hear. I'm sure you'll SMASH it!
Hi! Could you tell me the information of how can I register? I would totally love to run it next year!☺️
I’m thinking of doing the half next year. How many stairs are there for the half? I have been trying to find an answer for that. How would you train? If your over 6hrs for the half do they still give you the medal? Congrats on such an awesome race!!
About a million hahah. Half as many as the full I guess. :p Honestly if you trained a few times a week running up stairs for about a month or two you would fly it.
Hi janet! I know it's been 4 years since you've done the Great Wall Marathon but wanted to drop a big congrats on finishing that! Did you have to register with a Tour? Or were you able to register for just the race? We're thinking of doing it but have only found Tour packages. Many thanks for this video! -Maui and Trizzy
Check out ‘Conquer the Wall’ Marathon’ - you can register for that race separately and sort your own travel and accommodation arrangements, or book a package. It’s the only organiser I’ve managed to find that does this.
@@BadBadRobot this is great! looking into it now. Thanks so much!
No worries, hopefully see you there! 👍
Did you hear that Sri Lanka isis terrorists attack? I am Sri Lankan. I am so sad. Maybe you also thinking again no go to Sri Lanka. We missing too much foreign people what to do? Anyway your this video also good 👍👍
