The Shanghai Maqiao International Half Marathon, specially organized for ordinary runners who love running, has been held for seven years and is constantly upgrading its security and supplies.
Three fog cannon trucks were set up on-site to help the runners cool down. Seven ambulances, nine medical first aid stations, and 35 AEDs were arranged along the track in addition to professional volunteers and medical staff. As the exemplary organization of national mass sports and the national sports industry demonstration base, Maqiao town gives full play to the radiation effect of two major international events - the Rolex Shanghai Masters and Buick LPGA Shanghai- and holds more than 45 national fitness events, such as tennis, running and cycling every year.
