The Guangzhou Marathon is due to take place on Dec 13 as scheduled, a person in charge of the administration of sports of Guangzhou confirmed during a press conference on Sept 15.

"Under the guidance of the China Athletics Association and the Guangzhou municipal government, Guangzhou has the ability to undertake a marathon with a scale of up to 30,000 people," said the person in charge.

Specific requirements for overseas competitors will be put forward due to the current COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control measures. Overseas competitors will have to undergo a 14-day medical isolation period when entering the country. 

While prior editions of the marathon used to invite competitors from more than 40 countries and regions around the world, this year's event will reduce the scale of overseas competitors, with more places being allocated to Guangzhou runners.

It was also noted that competitors of this year's marathon will have to receive nucleic acid testing one week before the event.
