It is one of the three big races in China, the other two being the Beijing Marathon and the Xiamen Marathon.

The current route takes runners from the Bund Bull to the finish line at Shanghai Stadium. The route passes through parts of the city including riverside views of the Huangpu river. 

Once you've finished the race treat yourself to some fantastic food or wander around the cities parks and/or shops (if you can still walk !).
