Great Wall Marathon - Site Survey

A couple weeks ago, I went to check out the Great Wall Marathon route (just so I wont be shocked on race day).

"Crap" was the first word out of my mouth..."this looks like it will be a challenge."

Then I slowly drove the course [the part after the "Wall"] at 10 miles an hour, my ears popped.

"This will suck..."

The race will start in the small village (center picture).

Then run up the wall...unfortunately the route takes the race up the "Wall" twice.
