The race, featured a dual-track system where humanoid robots and human athletes started simultaneously but followed separate lanes secured by barriers or green belts.

Each robotic team comprised three human operators—engineers, controllers, or pacers—working in tandem to navigate the route, which spanned from Nanhaizi Park to Tongming Lake's National Innovation Park.

The competition adopted a timed race format. Teams can choose to either replace the batteries of a single robot or use a relay method, though each battery change comes with a 10-minute penalty.

The event served as a proving ground for humanoid robots' practical roles.
