The competition set up 6 groups, including the men's and women's groups of the full running marathon, the men's and women's groups of the half-marathon, and the men's and women's groups of the Dream Running Healthy Run, and nearly 4,000 people from inside and outside the province signed up for the competition. The track is 8 meters wide and 105 km long, in 25 km, 10A turnaround point is set up at 5 km. Yuan Lin, the chief referee of the event, told reporters, "The Ice and Snow Marathon Challenge is different from the city marathon, and the runners will undergo a more rigorous test when running on the snow, and the environmental factors such as snow and low temperature require the participants to have good physical fitness." ”
According to Yuan Lin, during the construction of the track, the organizing committee of the event fully crushed the snow on the ice and fully covered the ice with snow, with snow on the top and ice on the bottom, which was a highlight of the competition. At the same time, a supply point is set up every kilometer on the course, and the supply point has some items such as ginger soup, salt balls and small bread for the runners to recharge.
Because it is an ice and snow running marathon challenge, the physical fitness of the participants is extremely high. At the same time, there are certain special requirements for the participation in clothing, running shoes, gloves, hats and winter clothing are all necessary. Before the race, the runners should warm up sufficiently, and the stride length should not be too large when running to avoid injury during the race.
