港珠澳大桥3月举行马拉松赛
A marathon will be held on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge on March 18, according to an announcement by organizers from the Zhuhai municipal committee on its official social media account.
珠海市委在官方媒体账户上发布一份公告，3月18日港珠澳跨海大桥将举行一场马拉松比赛。
Up to 10,000 participants can choose to run either the full 42-kilometer course or a mini 5-kilometer dash on the world's longest cross-sea bridge.
Both races will begin and end in Zhuhai, with runners on the full course making a round trip between the bridge's main section and an artificial island to its west.
A total of 1.22 million yuan (188,000 US dollars) of prize money is up for grabs for the fastest eight runners in both the men's and women's categories.
Registration for the marathon will open next week and will last for two weeks.
