一湾碧海之上，钢铁长虹横贯天际!近日，国内唯一海上马拉松——青岛胶州湾大桥马拉松在青岛·上合之珠国际博览中心震撼开赛，近2万名跑者以热爱之名，在胶州湾万顷碧波之上，开启一场全新奔跑体验。

作为国内为数不多可在世界级跨海超级工程上驰骋的马拉松赛事，胶州湾大桥马拉松最核心的吸引力，在于赛道本身。胶州湾跨海大桥是北方冰冻海域首座特大型桥梁集群工程，奔跑于大桥桥面之上，两侧是无遮挡的环海视野，脚下是翻涌的蔚蓝海浪，远处是层叠的城市岸线，海风裹挟着潮润清新的气息扑面而来。不同于穿行城市街巷的常规马拉松，在这里，每一步奔跑都是与大海、超级工程的亲密对话。

On a clear sea, a steel rainbow stretches across the sky! Recently, the only sea marathon in China, the Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Bridge Marathon, kicked off at the Qingdao SCO Pearl International Expo Center. Nearly 20000 runners, in the name of their passion, embarked on a brand new running experience on the vast blue waves of Jiaozhou Bay.

As one of the few marathon events in China that can run on world-class cross sea super projects, the core attraction of the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge Marathon lies in the track itself. The Jiaozhou Bay Cross Sea Bridge is the first large-scale bridge cluster project in the frozen waters of northern China. Running on the bridge deck, it offers unobstructed views of the sea on both sides, with rolling blue waves beneath its feet and layered city shorelines in the distance. The sea breeze carries a refreshing and humid atmosphere, sweeping towards the face. Unlike regular marathons that run through city streets and alleys, here every step of the run is an intimate conversation with the ocean and super engineering.
