Event Detail
The Baise Half Marathon 2026 returns to the city of Baise in western Guangxi on Sunday, 29 November 2026, inviting runners to complete a classic 21.0975-kilometre road race. The current event announcement was issued by the organisers in October and confirmed by Baise's municipal media. The scheduled 7:30 am start is also shown on current Chinese race calendars. The published venue is Baise Sports Centre in Youjiang District; check final race instructions for the exact entrance, assembly area and start corral.
A city with a story
Baise is widely associated with the Baise Uprising and has important revolutionary-history landmarks, including the Baise Uprising Memorial Hall and the former Red Seventh Army headquarters. The Youjiang River, green hills and distinctive Guangxi scenery provide the wider backdrop. The organiser's official announcement recalls the 2025 edition, describing a city run that blended culture, local hospitality and athletic competition. These are reasons to visit, not a claim that every landmark will appear on the 2026 course: the final 2026 route map should be checked before planning spectating or transport.
Race format and entries
The headline race is a half marathon (21.0975 km). The current event's promotional and registration notices describe a field of approximately 7,000 places for that distance. Organiser publicity indicated that applications would open on 15 October 2026 at 4:00 pm China time. Entrants should confirm remaining places, eligibility, final prices and any allocation rules via the event's official WeChat account, 2026百色半程马拉松, or the registration service rather than assuming that spaces are still available. No additional race distance is included here without current-edition confirmation.
Planning your trip
The city is served by Baise railway station, and the start venue is the Baise Sports Centre rather than the railway station itself. Allow enough time to reach the sports complex, especially if there are race-morning road controls. Late November mornings can be cooler than the day's warmest hours; choose kit with the forecast in mind. Course cut-offs, hydration-station positions, prize structure, race-pack collection, gear-drop provision and transport arrangements must be taken from the current organiser rules as they become available, not copied from the 2025 race.
