Our flights are booked and our bags are packed (not really, its a bit early) but we are truly excited to visit Shanghai for an exciting weekend of racing as the city is evaluated for its inclusion as an Abbott World Major in 2027. We are having an extended trip to Shanghai not only to take in the 2026 race but to plan our 2027 tour when the marathon will hopefully be a full Abbott World Major.

We have a very limited number of guaranteed marathon entries available for this years candidacy race, our official race hotel is the 5 star Hyatt on the Bund which is within walking distance of the start line.

Prices include a guaranteed marathon entry and 4 nights in the Hyatt based on Bed & Breakfast starting on 03 December with a 4 night minimum. A 3 day Public Transportation card is also included plus Hospitality Services provided by Fundy Sports & Travel.
