Beijing, Apr. 10 (BNA): Beijing has postponed a half marathon originally scheduled for Sunday in which humanoid robots will race alongside human runners.

The 2025 Beijing Yizhuang Half Marathon was postponed to April 19 due to forecasts of very strong winds for this weekend, according to a statement published on Thursday by the event's organisers, Reuters reported.

The race will be held in an area of Beijing that hosts more than 100 robotics companies and a 10 billion-yuan ($1.36 billion) government fund for their development, according to the deputy director of the area's management committee, Li Quan.
