5. Guaranteed Entry Slots
(1) This edition sets 1,000 guaranteed time-qualified slots. Athletes whose registered times meet the qualifying standards for their respective age groups will secure guaranteed entry. Age groups are determined by subtracting the year of birth from 2026(the year of the race).
(2) If the total number of qualified guaranteed entry applicants does not exceed 1,000, all qualified applicants will obtain guaranteed entry.
(3) If the total number of qualified guaranteed entry applicants exceeds 1,000, the actual number of guaranteed entries for each age group will be calculated based on the percentage of qualified applicants in that age group multiplied by 1,000(for example: if the number of qualified applicants aged 34 and below is 1,000, and the total number of qualified applicants across all age groups is 5,000, this indicates that the guaranteed entry quota for the 34-and-below age group accounts for 20%, meaning 200 guaranteed slots for that age group). Athletes will then be ranked within each age group by their personal best net marathon finishing time at Chinese Athletics Association-certified “Category A” events (held between July 15, 2024 and July 15, 2026) that can be queried on the “China Marathon” website. Those ranking within the actual guaranteed entry quota for their age group will secure guaranteed entry.
Special Note: Athletes who are unable to prove they have met the qualifying standards through the above method may, after registration and before August 8, 2026, submit marathon finishing certificates from World Athletics Label events or AIMS-certified events (held between July 15, 2024 and July 15, 2026) to the customer service email: haidianmarathon@163. com. Once the time is verified as accurate, it may be used as a valid performance record.
