Registration Process 

To ensure a smooth and safe experience, participants' identities will be verified on race day. To speed up the entry, facial recognition will be used for identity verification. In line with the Personal Information Protection Law, all selected runners must authorize the event organizing committee to collect facial data (only for those registered with their ID card). Once the data are collected, runners will not need to bring their ID on race day for verification.

Special Reminder: Since registration is linked to personal information, refusal or cancellation of the authorization to collect personal data (such as name, ID number, phone number, or emergency contact) may lead to disqualification.

2025 Shanghai Women's Half Marathon Route

The 2025 race will follow the familiar scenic route from previous years, starting at the Hongqiao Economic and Technological Development Zone. The course will wind through the culturally-rich Hongqiao Road, the beautiful Outer Ring Greenway, and the picturesque Suzhou Creek, where parklands and urban areas seamlessly blend. The half marathon will conclude at Gate 3 of Zhongshan Park on Wanhangdu Road, while the fitness run will end at Shanghai Zoo on Hongqiao Road.

Further details will be provided in due course. (The final interpretation rights of this event are reserved by the Shanghai Women's Half Marathon Organizing Committee.)
