On April 19, 2025, the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area hosted the world's first humanoid robot half marathon as part of the Beijing E-Town Half-Marathon. Twenty competing robot teams from Chinese manufacturers completed a 21.1 km course on dedicated tracks alongside human runners. Tiangong Ultra, operated by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, won the event with a finishing time of 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Tiangong Ultra ran at a peak speed of 12 km/h, up from 6 km/h in its prior exhibition runs. Each team was supported by engineers on the course; battery swaps were permitted at designated intervals. Robots launched sequentially at one-meter-plus intervals on dedicated tracks. The event established a public baseline for humanoid robot endurance performance and demonstrated sustained outdoor bipedal locomotion over a full half-marathon distance.
