Yesterday evening, the Hangzhou Marathon issued an announcement that whether this year's Hangzhou Marathon can be held normally will make a relatively rational judgment about the week before the race. For a time, the circle of friends was forwarding this message.
At the same time, the Hangma people are working hard, and on the Hangzhou Marathon Track, the staff of the Hangma Line Measurement Team is doing the line measurement work.
From 4 p.m. yesterday to more than 11 p.m., from the evening peak of traffic to the quiet late night, nearly 8 hours, the 42.195 km line of the 2021 Hangzhou Marathon was all measured, and every kilometer was sprayed with yellow paint numbers.
Marathon route measurement is a very important part of an event. Every time the line is adjusted, the track must be re-measured.
The track measurement this year was conducted by Mr. Hu Xinmin, a 68-year-old B-class quantum of the World Athletics Federation. He said that there were only five measuring officers at this level in the country, and this year before coming to Hangzhou, he went to Nanchang Marathon to do track surveying work.

Others involved in the track measurement work are traffic police, track marking and other staff.
Responsible for the marking of each kilometer is Li Li, who has hosted many races in Hangzhou, she said that since 2005, she has participated in the track measurement work of Hangzhou Horse every year, but that is, since that year, she has not run the Hangzhou Marathon, she said, "When I don't serve Hangzhou Horse, I must run once." ”
There was also an old bicycle that accompanied everyone to complete the 42.195 km measurement work on the same day.
"To install a Jones recorder for mileage calculation, sharing bicycles is not enough, it must be an old-fashioned bicycle," said the staff on the side, looking for a lot of people to borrow a bicycle that was a little rusty old.
The Jones Recorder works by first calibrating and measuring the precise circumference of a wheel roll, and then calculating the distance taken by fixing the number of lap counters on the bike, so the first step in line measurement is to conduct a benchmark test, go straight on a 300-meter journey, and ride 6 times.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Hangzhou was the evening rush hour, and on the road floor, the staff of the Hangzhou-Ma Line Measurement Team drew a large "0" on the ground with spray paint.
This is where this year's Hangzhou Marathon begins.
"It has been the starting point of the Hangzhou Marathon for several years," lamented Ah Zhong, who looked at the newly renovated Huanglong Sports Center and participated in many years of track measurement work.
Starting from the Huanglong Sports Center, the measurement team measured the track along this year's Hangma Route, and each kilometer was sprayed with digital markings with spray paint.

After running a full marathon, the master only needs three hours, and the new Malaysians will also reach the finish line before the 6-hour closing time, but the staff spent nearly eight hours measuring this full marathon route.
Dinner on this day was eaten at 11 o'clock in the evening.
Busy until most of the night, the staff member Lao Xiao said: "Once a year, it is worth the Hangzhou Marathon!" ”
Kudos to every hard-working Hangma people!
If you've run across the track during this time, look for mileage markers on the side of the road.
