The ninth Xiamen International Marathon will take place on January 2, 2011. Participants will compete in a range of races that include a half-marathon for wheelchair participants, a 10-kilometer skating race and a marathon tournament for cities on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Cash prizes have also been raised -- the top finisher will earn $40,000 and any runner who sets a new world record will receive a $1 million reward. ( From http://www.common-talk.com )
