Mongolia will host an international marathon at Khui Doloon Khudag on 10th of September. Entitled “Mongolian Steppe”, the event will be co-organised by the Athletics Federation of Mongolia and the “Nomadic Illustration” NGO with a sponsor from the Japanese Showa Holdings Group.

The marathon will be held in three categories, namely, junior, senior and master’s categories with distances of 3, 5, 10 and 21 kilometers. Nearly 4,000 people have applied for the race.

The international marathon was initiated by Japanese citizens Fujawara and Kon Aya in 1996.
