AROUND 21,500 people will join the annual Hangzhou International Marathon at Huanglong Sports Center on Sunday.

Nicknamed "the most beautiful marathon in the world," the Hangzhou International Marathon route goes around the picturesque West Lake and Qiantang River.

In addition to the traditional full-length marathon, the event will include a half marathon of around 21 kilometers, a short version of 13 kilometers and a mini marathon of just under 7 kilometers.

Additional fun runs include the 1.2-kilometer family run, while the lover's run will test the depth of couples' love along a 3.5-kilometer stretch.

Last year, 23,000 people joined the marathon run - up more than 50 percent on the 15,000 entrants in 2010.
