About Asian Premier Marathons

As the first ever continental marathon event league in the world, Asian Premier Marathons (APM) is jointly established by Beijing Marathon, Beirut Marathon, Seoul Marathon and Infront China under the leadership of Asian Athletics Association (AAA). The new league aims to raise the competition level and international appeal of marathon events in Asia as well as attract more high-level Asian athletes to participate in top-tier APM events.

As the inaugural season of APM series, Season 2017 – 2018 will start with Beijing Marathon 2017 on 17 September, followed by Beirut Marathon 2017 and Seoul Marathon 2018, and finish with Beijing Marathon 2018. Top 3 men’s and women’s Asian runners (6 in total) will share the USD500 thousand prize. Moreover, APM member events will jointly set a ranking and awarding system for all APM runners.
