Spanning a distance of 10.9 kilometers, the relay route took participants on a memorable journey, commencing at the Shenjiamen Fishing Port, passing through signature landmarks such as the International Aquatic Products Center, the Soccer Park, and Gangdao Bridge, and culminating at the Civil Square.
