At the same time, this event has taken Lanzhou to the world and let the world know about Lanzhou.
Today's splendor can hardly remind people of the difficulty of the year. 2011 when Lanzhou City founded the International Marathon, the national marathon movement was in the doldrums, and only 22 marathons were held throughout the year, with a low participation rate and low social influence that made the city's marathon suffer from a dilemma. What happens when a city like Lanzhou hosts a marathon?
The first Lanzhou International Marathon,****18,750 runners participated in the same year was named "the best marathon" and "China Association of Athletics Marathon Gold Medal". 2012, the scale of participation reached more than 30,000 people,
The first Lanzhou International Marathon was held in the city of Lanzhou, the city's largest marathon in the world, with a total of 22 marathons.

2016 Lanzhou International Marathon registration work on April 11 officially started, just 36 hours, the registration of all projects all over, creating a "Lanma" history of the fastest registration record.
"The reason why the Lanzhou International Marathon stands out among similar events has a lot to do with the participation of all people in the city of Lanzhou, which is a very benign cycle." Zhang Lei, deputy director of Lanzhou Municipal Sports Bureau, said, "In addition to this, running along the Mother River, the 100-mile Yellow River Style Line running through the whole course, and the enthusiastic course where the people refueled almost without any breaks have become the distinctive features of Lanzhou Marathon. At the same time, the simple folk style of the western city, the magnificent landscape of the Yellow River, combined with the professional organization of the event, constitute the unique temperature of the Lanzhou Marathon. Many runners describe Lanma in this way, in China's marathon running map, Lanma belongs to the must-visit card points."
This year, Lanma has been seven years old, reviewing these seven years, "Lanma" pace is becoming more and more steady. Lanzhou International Marathon has not only won the title of gold medal event for five consecutive years, but also upgraded from the original international bronze standard event to the international silver standard event in 2017. In the China Association of Athletics Federations and the people's network *** with the announcement of the 2016 most influential event ranking TOP100 list, Lanzhou International Marathon in the public opinion enthusiasm, event level, project settings, prize money, participation and professionalism in six aspects, more than 40 latitude indicators, the overall ranking of the fourth, professionalism, enthusiasm, flavor, public welfare event characteristics, so that the marathon for Lanzhou played a loud and bright city card. The marathon has made Lanzhou a prominent name card for the city.
Internal and external urban management
"Day and night are the same, sparrows and crows are the same", "no blue sky in the summer, no sun in the winter" was the name of the game for many people on the Lanzhou's air pollution has been the language of many people. The geographic location of two mountains sandwiched by a river, no wind in winter climate characteristics, heavy industry-based economic layout, the city's environment are facing a "congenital deficiency" of the dilemma. And over the years of governance measures have seen little effect, but also let many people on the Lanzhou pollution produced a sense of trepidation, pollution has also become a "negative business card", a serious constraint on the development of Lanzhou.
There are rewards to be paid, and after years of comprehensive treatment, Lanzhou is now becoming a livable and tourist-friendly western landscape city. At the 2015 World Climate Change Conference in Paris, Lanzhou won the "Today's Change Progress Award", which impressed the world.
If the treatment of air pollution is to refresh the external "face value" of Lanzhou, then the "three major rectification" is to declare war on the inner stubbornness of urban development.
"Driving in Lanzhou is a good risk, obviously a pedestrian red light, but there are people who will break the line." Cab driver Mr. Liu confessed.
Mrs. Li, who lives on Mars Street in Lanzhou's Qilihe District, is late for school every morning because of her children's worries, because in the alleys of her neighborhood, there are always randomly parked vehicles blocking the way.
"Originally, this square is relatively small, you see that the corner of the trash cans are full out, garbage are taking up space." Auntie Liu and her square dance partners "spit" in the community center of the square garbage, "was to exercise, these garbage smell are sucked into our bodies, certainly not healthy ah!
