The Chinese Athletics Association announced punishment for several marathon violations that recently received widespread attention at the "2018 Marathon Special Media Communication Meeting" on Sunday.

The organizing committees of the 2018 Suzhou (Taihu) Marathon, the Nanning International Marathon and the Shenzhen Nanshan Half Marathon were penalized over violation incidents during their events.

These organizing committees were also requested to submit a written rectification report to the Chinese Athletics Association within a prescribed time limit. 

The decision was based on the management measures for Chinese marathons and related sports events in order to strictly discipline and maintain a fair competition.
