The second press conference of Haier 2025 Qingdao Marathon was held at Qingdao Haier InterContinental Hotel. The conference released information about the event uniforms, medals and expo.
The design elements incorporate waves, seagulls, urban buildings, etc., and the main color is derived from Qingdao’s city color – sea blue. Both A and B models are white and blue as gradients, but they are differentiated in the color area matching. When runners wear race uniforms and gather on the track, it seems that the deep sea and white waves are intertwined, conveying the modernity and vitality of this city. Runners have fearless courage like waves, showing their personality and breaking through themselves on the Qingdao Marathon track. Model A is mainly blue, and the front incorporates the silhouette of the national style Huilan Pavilion architectural elements. The first half of the Qingdao Marathon track is outlined with smart lines, bypassing the waist, and the second half of the route is extended on the back, and the classic “May Wind” silhouette appears before your eyes.
The design of the B-type competition uniform echoes that of the A-type, with white as the main color. The front line is the second half of the Qingdao Marathon track. When the runners wearing the A-type and B-type competition uniforms meet on the track, they also present a complete Qingdao Marathon track route.
As the handwritten text on the clothing expresses, “Love is supreme, run to the mountains and seas”, the poetry and romance of this city are what countless runners want; let this ardent love bloom brilliantly on the Qingdao Marathon track.
Permanent competition number commemorative uniform:
The Qingdao Marathon permanent competition number is released for the first time. The permanent competition number application is approved and the runners who register for the 2025 Qingdao Marathon will receive this commemorative uniform in addition.
The commemorative uniform uses white as the base, and the front pattern is the English name of the Qingdao Marathon; the golden numbers 2017-2025 below witness the company of every loyal runner of the Qingdao Marathon; the golden track runs through it, and this memory is treasured forever. The pattern on the back is based on the word Qingdao, combined with landmark buildings and elements such as waves, sailboats, and seagulls as the background, presenting an elegant national style of blue and white porcelain.
May this permanent competition number commemorative uniform become the exclusive memory of runners, inspiring more people to persist in their passion, ride the wind and waves on the road of marathon, and move forward fearlessly.
The Haier 2025 Qingdao Marathon Completion Medal is designed with a hinged structure, with the first letters Q and D of Qingdao as the modeling base; the front is embossed with urban architectural elements such as “May Wind”, Huilan Pavilion, Catholic Church, and the former site of the German Governor’s Mansion, and integrates marine culture to highlight regional characteristics; the back is extended with ripples, with blue waves stacked and inlaid in it, and the three-dimensional “Fu” character echoes the letter “D”. I hope Qingdao can become a “blessed land” for many runners, and among the many medals of runners, it will be transformed from a medal pendant into an exquisite desktop ornament.
Opening the medal, the city outline and the Tsing Ma track are clearly presented. The marine culture such as seagulls, starfish, and conchs are perfectly integrated with the city spirit and marathon spirit. The ripples extend along the track, implying that the 42.195-kilometer journey is like the ups and downs of the waves, and only the brave can ride the waves.
This carefully designed medal is not only a glorious witness to the completion of each player, but also a memory book written by each winner and the city. Every time you open it, you will be overwhelmed; every time you recall it, you can evoke the beauty.
