Test of endurance on a challenging course Looking

A three-day spectacular

Running through the streets of Old San Juan over the course of a full weekend was an unforgettable and exhilarating experience for more than 3000 participants during the 9th edition of the “Lola Challenge Weekend”. Runners from all over the world and Puerto Rico train all year round for this special weekend.

The blend of history and culture creates a unique backdrop for the series of races: 5km, 10km and a tough 21.1km. Each race during the three-day period has its own set of challenges for participants but the vibrant energy of the city and the support of fellow runners make it an extraordinary journey to be part of.

The Lola Challenge Weekend begins with the 5km race, where we run through the narrow streets lined with colourful colonial buildings from the 16th century. The cheers of locals and tourists add to the festive atmosphere making the initial race a delightful experience. Saturday morning brings the 10km race, expanding the exploration of Old San Juan. The route leads runners along the iconic coastline, with the

Atlantic Ocean on one side and the historic city on the other, making it an unforgettable experience. The salty breeze provides a refreshing contrast to the exertion of the run and makes the race easier for participants. This second race has the perfect balance between a challenging run and a scenic tour of the city’s treasures for all runners to enjoy.

Runners nish by passing landmarks such as San Felipe del Morro Castle while watching the sunrise and this makes it a satisfying experience for the runners and for their families and friends who come to cheer them on.

2024 Lola Challenge Weekend, Puerto Rico

Continued from page 17

The highlight of the weekend is the half marathon race on the third day. For most participants

the half marathon is the most important and challenging of the three races. The route takes runners through the heart of Old San Juan and then into more hilly and demanding terrain. This

route is both physically and mentally challenging as the cobblestone streets require a careful choice of footing. The incline of the hill on Norzagaray street is one that most runners look forward to completing. The ascent of the street then provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the ocean and the historic landmark.

The half-marathon race is a true test of endurance but the constant support and the unique atmosphere make it an incredibly rewarding experience. Crossing the nish line in the heart of Old San Juan is a moment of triumph. The cheers, applause, and the stunning backdrop of the historic cityscape creates a memory that will forever be etched on the runner’s mind.

The “Lola Challenge” is the only three-day event taking place in Puerto Rico and provides a great opportunity for anyone to challenge themselves both physically and mentally. It is such a unique and memorable experience that locals ood the streets of Old San Juan during the weekend along with people from all over the globe. It’s an event where everyone comes together to run for a charitable cause. The Lola Challenge is the perfect experience not only to ful l your running goals surrounded by beautiful landscapes and colourful buildings but also to help make a change in the world.

Hokkaido Marathon, Japan

In the footsteps of Olympians

Run on the Tokyo 2020 legacy course

Hokkaido Marathon is the only full marathon event held in Japan during the summer months.

It started in 1987 with only 439 entries. This year marks its 36th anniversary and it has grown to a capacity of 20,000 runners for the full marathon only. Many Japanese elite athletes participate in Hokkaido Marathon to prepare for championship races often held in hot weather, such as the Olympics and the World Championships. This makes it a stage where citizen runners can aspire to run with top-class athletes.

The Hokkaido Marathon course was partially adopted from the marathon course of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, and the nish lanes were fully re-created. With the time limit being extended by one hour to six hours more runners are able to experience the Olympic legacy course.

The main venue is Odori Park, located in the centre of Sapporo city. It is a famous tourist spot also known as the venue for the Sapporo Snow Festival. Start and nish lines are at the same location which is an unusual thing in big marathons but which makes it easy to access from hotels.

The race starts with the countdown signalled by the digital clock on the Sapporo TV Tower. Runners pass through Susukino, one of the most popular entertainment areas in Japan, and run the course where the world’s top athletes competed in the 2020 Olympics. After 14.2km, it becomes the original course for the Hokkaido Marathon.

At 20km (33 km point on the return trip), the ‘dance and play’ (instrumental performance) by students from famous high schools cheer you up as you progress along the course. While water and food stations are available throughout the course the large aid station at 24.8km point is a popular spot where half of the runners stop by. They provide many services such as snowballs (stored in winter), carbonated beverages, dorayaki, etc.

After 37.8 km, the course becomes the same as for the Olympics. It takes you through the lush green campus of Hokkaido University and in front of the red-brick former Hokkaido Government Of ce Building, which still has the Olympic nish line painted on the street. The last 400m is a “Victory Road”. Finishing the race and feeling the afterglow is a special experience.

Walls Linker Oevert Half Marathon, Belgium

A beacon of hope

On Sunday 15 September the 10th edition of the Walls Linker Oevert Half Marathon will take place. For this celebratory edition the course has been revamped to fully cover Antwerp’s territory. The route meanders along the outskirts of the Belgian metropolis – home to half a million residents and renowned for its diamond industry, fashion scene, rich history and vibrant culture.

The Walls Linker Oevert Half Marathon showcases the very best of Antwerp. Participants can take in beautiful views of Antwerp’s iconic skyline, dominated by landmarks such as the imposing Antwerp Cathedral. But the race isn’t just about urban scenery; it offers a diverse and picturesque route that explores serene green spaces. One of the highlights of the course is to run alongside the Scheldt River, a vital waterway that has played a central role in Antwerp’s history and development. Runners will also pass by Galgenweel, a stunning semi-natural lake that provides a tranquil backdrop for the race.

Let’s not forget the sandy shores of Sint-Anneke Beach. There is a song dedicated to it: “It’s close to home, and I never get bored. There’s nothing that compares to Sint-Anneke Beach,” say the lyrics. Due to the presence of this short strip of sand the course is ‘only’ 95% paved, adding an extra challenge and distinction to the race.

Apart from the at course through the 101-yearold Linkeroever, the presence of selected pacers is an advantage. They help to shield runners from the wind and guide them seamlessly to a new personal best time. The atmosphere is also special. Just before the nish line a group of Japanese drummers give runners that nal impetus to sprint to the line where a red carpet awaits. Participants proceed to a tent where their supporters can greet them. Every runner receives a medal at the nish.

There’s nothing that compares to Antwerp

In addition to the thrill of competition and the joy of personal achievement, the Walls Linker Oevert Half Marathon also offers participants the opportunity to give back to the community. Through partnerships with local charities and organisations, the event strives to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. This further reinforces the race’s status as a beacon of hope and inspiration within the community.

Last year 1000 participants gathered at the start in Linkeroever. Although runners are predominantly from Belgium, interest in this Antwerp running classic extends far beyond national borders with participants coming from various

European countries, South America and North America. From seasoned veterans to rst-time runners, participants of all ages and abilities unite in their shared passion for running and their love of Antwerp. The fastest of them completed the 21km in 1:10:49. The fastest woman crossed the nish line with a time of 1:30:27. Podium prizes are awarded for the top three men and women.

Mark your calendars, lace up your shoes, and join us on 15 September for an unforgettable journey through the heart of Antwerp.

Ston Wall Marathon, Croatia

This small marathon on the Dalmatian coast has much to offer

Taken with a grain of salt

The Ston (pronounced like stone) Marathon is a special race that has been held since 2008 on the historic walls of Ston, a small town near Dubrovnik in Croatia.

Dubrovnik is well known as a world historic and tourist attraction. Not far away lies the small town of Ston, where walls were built in the Middle Ages to protect the Republic of Dubrovnik from foreign invaders. These walls stand strong today and are the longest preserved forti cations in Europe.

A group of runners and running enthusiasts from Croatia came up with the idea to run over those walls 20 years ago, and in 2008 they started organising a race along the walls of Ston – the unique Ston Wall Marathon. The race is held every year at the end of September when the summer heat of southern Dalmatia subsides.

This is not a big, crowded race with tens of thousands of runners and noisy fans along the course, which many urban races offer. An average of 300-400 runners take part in the Ston Marathon each year. The race is international –more than 50% of competitors are from abroad. Many runners come on holiday to Dubrovnik or the islands of southern Dalmatia and align their vacation with this one-of-a-kind race along the walls of Ston.

The Ston Marathon, like many running events today, offers several race distances so that runners of all levels can nd something to enjoy. The shortest race is 4km and runs along the very walls of Ston. It starts at sea level and quickly climbs up steep steps almost to the top of the forti cation. The path rises quickly up to a height of 140m in a very intense ascent. The greatest reward for the runners is the spectacular view from the top of the walls. Runners of the 4 km race nish in the historic town of Ston.

The 15km race is more demanding. It continues after descending from the walls of Ston onto the southern part of the Pelješac peninsula. Here runners pass a shallow sea lagoon where one of the oldest sea salt pans in Europe is still in use today. Runners continue south surrounded by white stone and aromatic Mediterranean herbs on one side and the warm, clear Adriatic Sea on the other.

Ston Wall Marathon, Croatia

The most demanding option is the 42km race, which continues towards the rather wild and uninhabited interior of Pelješac. The race here is mainly on paved roads, but there are also parts that would be suitable for lighter trail races. At the end of the race the organiser provides unique gifts for all runners – a medal crafted from local stone and a packet of sea salt from the nearby salt pans.

Arriving in Ston is easiest via Dubrovnik Airport, which in the summer months is well-connected to European and international capitals. But

there is good news for those who prefer to drive down Croatia’s stunning coastline – the new Pelješac Bridge shortens the drive from the north to the south of Croatia signi cantly.

For more details about the race itself, organisation and participation, check our website or Facebook. See you in STON(e).

StraLugano, Switzerland

Unleashing the spirit

In the heart of Switzerland, where the majestic Alps grace the sky and the tranquil waters of Lake Lugano shimmer under the sun, lies a runner’s haven – StraLugano.

This annual road race transcends an athletic event; it stands as a profound celebration of athleticism, a communion with nature and a unique opportunity for runners to surpass personal records amidst the enchanting beauty of Lugano.

The adventure begins in the town of Lugano, nestled along the shores of Lake Lugano. Runners hailing from diverse backgrounds and levels of ability gather to partake in an unparalleled racing experience. StraLugano is not simply a race; it represents an exploration of one’s physical limits set against the backdrop of a stunning landscape.

The course is crafted to showcase the splendour of Lugano: winding through charming streets, offering glimpses of vibrant markets, historical architecture and the unique blend of Swiss-Italian culture. As runners navigate the thoughtfully planned route they cease to be mere participants in a race and transform into adventurers weaving through a story penned by the picturesque surroundings.

A key feature of StraLugano is its predominantly at course – a golden opportunity for runners to pursue personal bests and records. The level terrain is a gift, inviting participants to unleash their full speed potential without the hindrance of steep ascents or demanding descents. The streets of Lugano metamorphose into a canvas on which runners meticulously paint their journey of perseverance and determination.

The race starts against the shimmering backdrop of Lake Lugano, where the morning sun re ects off the water’s surface, creating a mesmerising

Flat course showcases the splendour of Lugano

dance of light.

StraLugano represents more than just a physical challenge; it serves as an immersion into the soul-stirring beauty of the Swiss landscape. The route guides participants through lush parks adorned with colourful owers, giving momentary respite from the rhythmic pounding of feet on pavement. Runners nd solace in the tranquility of Parco Ciani, a lakeside park where centuries-old trees provide generous shade.

As the race progresses the scenery transforms into a panorama of rolling hills and panoramic vistas. The Alps stand tall in the distance, their snow-capped peaks a testament to the grandeur of nature.

For the runners each step evolves into a dance with determination and each mile becomes a triumph against the ticking clock. The nal

stretch, lined with enthusiastic spectators, leads to the nish line in Lugano’s city centre. Here triumph and exhaustion blend as runners cross the threshold, their faces marked with a mixture of joy, accomplishment and a hint of fatigue.

StraLugano symbolises more than a race; it embodies a journey that transcends the boundaries of competition. It stands as an odyssey where personal records are shattered and runners forge enduring memories against the backdrop of Lugano’s timeless beauty. As the sun sets over Lake Lugano, casting a warm glow on the jubilant faces of the participants, it becomes abundantly clear that StraLugano is not merely an event; it is an indelible chapter in the story of every runner who dares to embrace the challenge and discovers the extraordinary within the ordinary streets of Lugano.

Halong Bay Heritage Marathon, Vietnam

Dynamic and colourful backdrop to a straight and at course

A natural allure that captivates

The Halong Bay Heritage Marathon proudly claims the title of having the most spectacular course globally, tracing the shorelines of the poetic Ha Long Bay.

Entering its 10th year, the Halong Bay Heritage Marathon stands as one of the oldest marathons in the Heritage Race series and in Vietnam as a whole. Held in Ha Long City, Quang Ninh, the marathon route winds along the romantic Ha Long Bay. Recognised both by World Athletics and AIMS, the course has been included in the Age Group Ranking System of Abbott World Marathon Majors since 2022. It has also been acknowledged by Runner’s World UK as one of the 50 most breathtaking running routes globally.

The race offers four distances: 5km, 10km, half marathon (21.1km), and full marathon (42.2km). Runners have the opportunity to conquer the scenic coastal course which traverses Ha Long Bay from Ha Long City to Cam Pha City. With limestone mountains against the backdrop of the azure sea, the route offers a picturesque blend of nature’s beauty and is sure to invigorate runners.

The straight and at course, with no intersections, ensures runners’ safety and allows them to fully focus on their performance. On top of that the fresh atmosphere along the bay combined with the late autumn weather, ranging from 18–25ºC, helps runners to achieve their best results...

Halong Bay Heritage Marathon, Vietnam

Building on the triumphs of past seasons the Halong Bay Heritage Marathon 2024 has swiftly garnered interest from domestic and international athletes. Nearly 4000 athletes from numerous countries have signed up to conquer the 21.1 km and 42.2km distances.

Ha Long is an ideal destination for runners thanks to its special geographical location and excellent transportation infrastructure. The marathon takes place in November, offering the perfect late fall climate for an enjoyable journey. By blending running with sightseeing, runners and their families can explore the city’s renowned tourist attractions such as Bai Chay Beach, Bai Tho Mountain, Tuan Chau Park, and the bustling Halong Night Market, renowned for its shopping and dining opportunities.

In particular, Ha Long Bay and the Cat Ba Archipelago are distinguished as UNESCO World Heritage Sites with a natural allure that captivates both domestic and international tourists. In December 2023 Ha Long Bay was of cially recognized as Vietnam’s World Natural Heritage Site, an honour bestowed by UNESCO only three times.

With 1,133 limestone islands of various shapes and sizes the Ha Long – Cat Ba Archipelago resembles a mesmerising chessboard crafted from precious stones, featuring serene waters and pristine white sand beaches.

Regarded as a geological marvel received from the gods, this region holds a heritage of global signi cance, bearing witness to the Earth’s evolutionary history. It consists of a remarkable level of biodiversity in Asia encompassing seven ecosystems: primary tropical rainforest, caves, mangroves, tidal ats, coral reefs, soft bottoms and saltwater lakes. The Ha Long Bay – Cat Ba Archipelago also serves as a habitat for many rare species of animals and plants.

Runners and their companions can relish the tranquility and fresh air on yacht excursions navigating through distinctive landmarks such as Ga Choi Island, Dinh Huong Island, Sung Sot Cave, Thien Cung Cave and Titop Island.

Ha Long in particular and Quang Ninh in general boast a diverse cuisine featuring many delectable dishes such as squid rolls, vermicelli noodles, sweet and sour fried sam, Ha Long pearl yogurt, nodding cake, and chicken Tien Yen hill... With well-developed infrastructure this coastal locale can accommodate the culinary, lodging, and sightseeing needs of many runners and tourists during the days of the event.

Halong Bay Heritage Marathon is not just a footrace; it also fervently advocates for a healthy lifestyle while showcasing the splendour of this magni cent, dynamic, modern and colourful heritage land to international friends.
