After a fierce race, Ethiopia’s Birhan Nebebew Tesfaye won the race in 2 hours, 8 minutes and 16 seconds, a minute and 20 seconds faster than what he clocked in at last year, when he came in third.

Reformulating the scheduling of the starting pistol in a move to improve the quality of service at the event overall

2020 C&D Xiamen Marathon, the largest full marathon in China, has been upgrading the competition rules as part of an overall plan to enhance its professionalism across the board. To better control crowding and avoid bottlenecks along the course, the organizing committee has upped the number of starting intervals from three to five, with the starting pistol being fired for the first three groups of runners at an interval of 6 minutes each followed by two 9-minute intervals for the last two groups. Traffic control along the route combined with the change in the schedule of the firing of the starting pistol not only relieves track congestion and improves the athlete’s running times, but also enhances the event’s overall service level.

The 2020 C&D Xiamen Marathon sponsored a three-color – red, green and blue – public welfare program, with each color representing a separate effort with its own goal. The “red” program focuses on poverty alleviation, with the provision of support, care and relief to the less advantaged. Specific actions included the initiation of a crowdfunding program to buy and provide automated external defibrillators (AEDs) as well as the establishment of “caring book corners” or small libraries consisting of donated books and reading materials in 30 classrooms within 5 schools in Linxia, Gansu province as well as across Fujian province.

The “green” program advocates improvements in the region’s environment and ecology and the establishment of an “ecology-first” approach to the future of civilization, by initiating the “green travel day” campaign which won the Green Award from the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) for its call to the public to use public transportation and for the event organizers to strictly control the issuance of vehicle passes on the day of the event. In addition, a bank for the collection and storage of plastic items, as well as for the amassing of seedlings that will be used to create the Xiamen Marathon Caring Forest, was opened alongside of the route for the event’s C&D Green Run.

The “blue” program advocates reduction of plastic pollution and caring for marine health, by collaborating with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to spread the message to the public about the best way to reduce the use and disposal of plastic, especially throw-away plastic bottles, by using PLA-coated biodegradable paper cups, setting up plastic recycling stations, and replacing paper manuals and flyers with digital ones.
