On December 27, the 2024 Changan Automobile Chongqing Marathon Event Release and Investment Promotion Conference was held, and the winning rate, finisher medals and event-related welfare activities of the whole marathon, which have attracted much attention, were announced one by one.
The 2024 Changan Automobile Chongqing Marathon will start pre-registration for the whole marathon on December 5 and end on December 15. 151662 players from 31 countries and regions, including China, Japan, the United States, Canada, and Singapore, signed up, setting a new high in the number of pre-registrations for heavy horses in previous years. After deducting the quota of charity and sponsors, 13,250 people (including 8,000 reserved places) were finally qualified for next year's race, with a winning rate of about 398%。
Finisher medals have always been the focus of attention of runners, and at this press conference, the 2024 heavy marathon, mini finisher medals, and 3 trophies were all unveiled. The design of next year's heavy horse trophies and medals is based on the theme of "Twelve Views of Cuba and Chongqing", which echoes the theme of Begonia Smoke and Rain in 2023. The outline of the finisher medal is taken from the camellia of Chongqing, and the emblem of the heavy horse and the Chongqing People's Auditorium are the main elements on the front, highlighting the role of the heavy horse as the business card of Chongqing city and the sports card. Surrounded by dragon patterns on the back, Chongqing's landmark landscapes such as the East Water Gate Bridge and Longmen Hao Old Street are unique against the backdrop of the waves. Depending on the event, the medals are distinguished by colour and size, with the finisher's medal being platinum gold, mini medals being rose gold, and online medals being bronze.
It is worth mentioning that in order to enhance the experience and honor of the players, next year the heavy horse will continue the tradition of awarding commemorative trophies to the runners who "break three" (finish within 3 hours). The main body of the "Breaking Three" trophy is based on Longmenhao Old Street and Dongshuimen Bridge, with the golden heavy horse emblem, the soaring dragon shape, the green jade moon and the number "3" shape as the main elements, showing the spirit of the Breaking Three players who have the courage to fight hard and self-transcendence on the heavy horse track.
