The SPD Bank Shanghai Half Marathon is a road race held in Pudong, Shanghai, in 2026 for the first time in March; the 2026 race on 15 March was billed as the tenth edition. It is one of the Shanghai Marathon series races, which are organised by Shanghai Donghao Lansheng Sports with the Shanghai Sports Federation and the Pudong New Area government, and the half marathon has been held in Shanghai since 2015. In 2026 the field of 15,000 runners started at 7:00 am at the Oriental Pearl Tower on Fenghe Road, ran through the Lujiazui financial district, the Expo area and the Qiantan business district, and finished at the SPD Bank Oriental Sports Center on Yongyao Road, so the course is point-to-point. Finish gates were set at 5 km, 10 km, 15 km and 20 km, with the last at the finish at 10:15 am, three hours 15 minutes after the start. Entry is by pre-registration and lottery, with a 2026 fee of ¥160, and the first 200 men and 100 women to finish in 2026 got entry to that year's Shanghai Marathon. The organisers said the 2026 edition was moved earlier to March to avoid hot, humid weather. The race holds a World Athletics Gold Label.
Typical climate for the race month — an estimate, not a forecast or a race-day record
March in Shanghai is cool and damp: average highs are around 15°C and lows around 8°C, with relative humidity near 70% and measurable rain on about 13 days of the month. The 7:00 am start is typically at the cooler end of that range.
Shanghai
The Shanghai half marathon was launched in 2015, starting with around 5,000 runners. In 2017 the field grew from 12,000 to 15,000 and the organising rights were awarded to Donghao Lansheng, and by 2026 the race held a World Athletics Gold Label.
