The design was inspired by the "gate and key," symbolizing the inseparable bond between the marathon and the gates of the Xi'an City Wall.

The race attire incorporates seven distinctive Xi'an elements, including the Bell Tower, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Xi'an Olympic Sports Center.

To ensure the effective provision of volunteer services for the event and enhance the awareness and overall quality of volunteer services, Xi'an Marathon volunteers underwent training on Oct 21-22, participating in a total of 21 training sessions.

A total of 4,318 volunteers, including university students, social volunteers, and event commissioners, will serve the marathon.
