The 2019 Zhoushan Island Marathon will be held in Putuo district, Zhoushan on Nov 17. Registration for the event opened at a news conference on Sept 12.

The number of available slots has expanded to 16,000, 2,500 more than last year. Runners can register on the official website for the event. Registration will be closed once the maximum number of applicants is reached.

There will be four kinds of contests for runners to choose from – full and half marathons as well as healthy and family runs.

The routes will pass by major landmarks in Putuo district and will showcase the culture, history, scenery and urban environment of Zhoushan to the runners.

Since it began in 2015, Zhoushan Island Marathon has won several national and provincial titles and become a trademark of the city, said local authorities.

This year's event will present commemorative medals, ribbons and badges to eligible runners, investors, volunteers and organizers in celebration of its fifth anniversary.

In addition, there will be a gourmet festival featuring Putuo's local cuisines and a photo exhibition focusing on the Zhoushan Island Marathon, among other activities, said officials.
