A Mother's Day gift: the Yellow River Estuary Marathon

Abstract

The essay describes the author's third visit to Dongying, for the Yellow River Estuary Marathon on Mother's Day, 8 May — planned around Boer's Nanjing exhibition and a subsequent Tianjin Marathon trip.

Friends helped with registration and hotel booking, and the author finished in a net time of 3:47, as his 47th marathon; the weather was the coolest in the event's history with a little rain, while professional runners set race records.
