Taking into account both the level of competition and the opportunity for more runners to participate in the event, the direct quota rules for this year’s event have been greatly optimized: the direct quota is set at 5000 people, limited to marathon events only.
If the total number of direct candidates exceeds 5000, the quota will be allocated according to the proportion of candidates in each age group.
For example, if the 20-34 age group accounts for 10% of the total shortlisted candidates, then the direct quota for this group is 500 people (i.
e.
5000 x 10%).
Athletes will be ranked within the group based on their registration results.
Only athletes who rank within the limited quota for each age group will be eligible for direct admission.
For details of the direct rules, please refer to Article 8 of the “Registration Notice for the 2025 Mengniu Chengdu Marathon”.
