Lihu Lake marathon runners vow to return

Xavier from France

"It's very well organized. It's moved. It's very easy to pick or drop off the bags, go to the starter's area. I am living in Shanghai. It's not far away from Wuxi. I will come back for the Wuxi marathon."

It's a marathon; it's not just about running.

It's a challenge.

"I am 59 years old, I took the challenge and completed my first half marathon today, it's good. The event is very well organized, very efficient. I will continue to run half marathons and try to see what will happen when I run a longer marathon," said Craig Whitaker from Texas, USA, who started to run under the influence of his friend Don Kenny.
