The Shanghai International Marathon is an annual marathon held in Shanghai, China during late Fall. The marathon starts at Bund Bull and the finish line is Shanghai Stadium.[1]

The course records were both set in 2012 as Kenya's Sylvester Kimeli Teimet set the men's standard of 2:09:01 hours and Ethiopian Feyse Tadese broke the women's record with 2:24:08 hours. Participation also reached a new high that year, as over 30,000 runners competed in the mass race.[2]
