In 2018, the Changzhou West Taihu Half Marathon will be broadcast live by Jiangsu Satellite TV. A total of 20,000 runners from around the world will gather in Changzhou. As the fifth anniversary of Changma, the organizing committee also prepared various five-year custom welfare for all runners, the fifth anniversary badge, the fifth anniversary finish towel and the joint launch of the prayer ceremony with Tianning Temple to bring you more. A good experience to create a 5th Anniversary.

The most beautiful medals | When the time comes, the dragon rides the cloud

The shape design of the Changma Medal in 2018 was inspired by the non-spoke Ferris wheel of Changzhou's landmark building--the Tianning Pagoda, the iconic building of Tianning Temple, which was built and built in the Tang Dynasty. In the middle of the medal, the built-in small organ of the Ferris wheel can be rotated, and the runner can be sent a blessing of "Running from time to time".

On the top of the Tianning Pagoda, there is the name "Longcheng" in Changzhou. Under the Tianning Pagoda, there is a dragon in the background. The background design is decorated with water ripples, which explains the long-distance artistic conception of "the water is not deep, there is a dragon." The half-horse in the medal design is the same as the medal design in the ten-kilometer project. The difference is the color and the number of finishes on the back. The medal for the half-horse finish is gold, and the medal for the ten-kilometer finish is silver.

The mini-runners will receive the custom badge of the 5th anniversary of Changma. The design of the badge continues the concept of the medal, so that each runner has the best fifth anniversary.
