Nearly 2,000 athletes turned out for the races today in Xi’an as the 15th annual City Wall International Marathon took place. The event consisted of 5 different races; half-marathon, 13.7 km, 5 km, 13.7 km relay, and family fun run. I decided before my move to Xi’an that I wanted to run in this event, at the very least as a goal to keep myself in running shape since the Fargo Half-Marathon in May. For this event I elected to run the 13.7 km race, which for those of you who have no idea how far a kilometer is (like me) I’ll do some math for you.
1 km = 0.62 miles >> 13.7 km = 8.51 miles
