December 17: As the 2017 Shenzhen Marathon took place in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, JD Logistics appeared along the route as the race’s official logistics supplier. It was the first time JD Logistics had sponsored the Shenzhen Marathon.
At this edition of the Shenzhen Marathon, JD Logistics set up display cases near the start and finish lines of the route featuring package sorting robots. Both the runners and the crowd could see how the robots worked and get an initial impression of JD Logistics’ technology.
Additionally, many JD Logistics cargo vans were also driven alongside the route. These vans were used to transit drinking water and food to the water and food stations along the route, as well as transporting the runners’ bags from the start of the route to the finish line.
JD Logistics is the logistics offshoot of JD.com, the massive e-commerce company and one of the two largest B2C online retailers by transaction volume and revenue in China.
Inaugurated in 2013, Shenzhen Marathon is one of the Run China marathon series. In this 2017 edition, nearly 30,000 runners participated in the Shenzhen Marathon.
