When did Chengdu hold an international marathon?

The 1st Chengdu International Marathon on April 6th, 1986.

1986, Mr Samaranch, then president of the International Olympic Committee, was interested in sponsoring an event in western China. With the help of all parties at that time, he finally sponsored the first Chengdu International Marathon on April 6th 1986 in his own name, which was also the first large-scale 10,000-person marathon.

Although this competition was held only once in the end, it was of great significance in that era. Because at that time only Beijing had an international marathon.

The first marathon track connecting the world cultural heritage and the world natural heritage.

Chengdu Double Heritage Marathon-the first marathon in the world running between the world cultural heritage and the world natural heritage. The track has both modern buildings and historical sites, creating a marathon trip for runners to "run back to BC".

When you meet a horse, you will suddenly find ancient soldiers wearing armor and holding flags lined up on the roadside; The woodcutter in ancient costume carries straw, and the ancient mountaineer sells corn; The saintly old man plays chess.
