On December 28, following the conclusion of the Huizhou Marathon, runners gathered at the post-race check-in area to take photos with their finisher medals, capturing memorable moments of achievement. This year’s finisher medal continues the signature tri-fold design while introducing an innovative “lucky blind box” concept. The design integrates elements of Su Dongpo culture, lychee-red symbolism, and Lingnan-style window motifs, echoing the renowned verse: “If I could eat three hundred lychees a day, I would never regret being a Lingnan native.”

Under the theme “Mountains and Seas as Omens, New Year Wishes Fulfilled,” the medal set features three detachable refrigerator magnets presented in a blind box format. The magnets depict Echeng Bridge, symbolizing “Grand Aspirations Unfolding”; Huizhou West Lake, representing “Enduring Good Fortune”; and Mount Luofu, conveying “Hope and Renewal.” Together, they express best wishes for runners as they journey forward across mountains and seas.

To ensure the smooth organization of the event, the organizing committee provided comprehensive support services. “Little Lychee” volunteers were stationed at Pingtan Airport, Huizhou North Railway Station, Huizhou South Railway Station, and Yunshan Station to assist participants with transportation. From December 26 to 28, runners were granted free access to all city bus routes upon presenting their bib numbers, along with exclusive benefits such as accommodation discounts, late hotel check-out, and early breakfast services.

Guided by the philosophy that “newcomers and longtime residents are all part of the Huizhou family,” the marathon continued to strengthen the “Hospitable Huizhou” brand. A series of thoughtful benefits were introduced, including free admission to nearly 40 A-level tourist attractions from three days before to one day after the race. The pre-race expo featured a special “Dongpo Fun Fair,” showcasing local delicacies. Along the course, 37 performance stations offered diverse cultural performances such as singing and dancing, African drumming, lion dances, and cheerleading. In addition, a lucky draw awarded prizes including concert tickets, coastal tours, access to the 218-kilometer scenic tourism highway, and West Lake boat rides.

The successful hosting of the marathon was underpinned by robust safety and service. Under unified command by the Municipal Health Bureau, a comprehensive medical support system was established, featuring medical stations, ambulances, AED equipment, and first-aid runners throughout the course. Public security and traffic police departments implemented scientific traffic control and diversion measures to ensure event safety while minimizing disruption to daily city life. Meanwhile, sanitation workers, communication teams, and numerous frontline staff worked in seamless coordination. Their quiet dedication created a secure and orderly environment for runners and allowed the city’s vitality to shine.

The event also highlighted the strength of youth volunteerism. Thousands of student volunteers from across Huizhou served in roles such as materials distribution, course support, atmosphere guidance, and finish-line assistance. Their professionalism and warm smiles became a vivid testament to the spirit and warmth of the Huizhou Marathon.
