The 2026 Turpan Jiaohe Half Marathon in Xinjiang saw Ili runner Dosbo set a new men's record of 1 hour, 5 minutes and 43 seconds to claim victory. Adding to the celebration, the top three finishers each received a unique prize — a 1.5-meter-long, 3.2-kilogram lamb skewer made from Turpan black sheep. The winners posed with their medals and giant kebabs on the podium, and after the ceremony, they shared their skewers with other runners and spectators, turning the award into a joyful communal feast.
