At seven o'clock in the morning, the sun has not fully opened its smiling face, the air on the Bund is already filled with the breath of blood boiling, the 2024 Huangpu Marathon, this "roller skating + road running" party officially started! This is not a simple event, but a grand carnival of sports and happiness, the participants are not only running, they also have to draw a beautiful arc on the roller skating, which is really double the challenge and double the fun!
Imagine nearly 5,000 athletes and enthusiasts from 24 countries around the world coming together, each with the determination and excitement of "I want to be the first" written on their faces. Starting from the Bund, their footsteps will pass through People's Square and Huaihai Middle Road, and feel the charm of Shanghai's blend of history and modernity in every inch. Along the way, there are not only the beautiful scenery of Huangpu, but also the enthusiastic spectators on both sides of the track, whose applause and shouts seem to add an "accelerator" to each runner.
At the starting ceremony of the event, heavyweight guests were readily available. You see, Feng Lianshi, the big guy, stood there, his eyes revealing his love for sports and encouragement for the players. Isn't there Gao Yun and Xu Bin next to him? This event is not only a show for athletes, but also a big stage for Huangpu to show its sportsmanship and the charm of the city.
Let's get back to the track, where the roller skaters are the first to rush out, and every time they slide on the pavement, they stir up splashes of light, as if drawing meteors on the pavement. Not to be outdone, the road runners who followed behind were firm and powerful with their steps, trampling on the heart of the city with every step. The competition was so intense that it was exciting, and everyone was breathing hard in the air of competition and freedom.
The competition is not only a competition of speed, but also a competition of endurance and will. The end of the full marathon and half marathon is set at No. 68 Longhua East Road, while the battlefield of the roller skating quarter and road run is drawn to an end at the World Expo Museum. When the contestants reach the finish line, the thrill of release may not even be comparable to the colorful fireworks!
During the competition, the organizers also set up 26 charity market booths in the World Expo Museum, which not only closely linked sports and public welfare, but also gave every participant and spectator the opportunity to contribute to public welfare. Does this transmission of sportsmanship make people feel that the competition is not only a competition, but also a heart-warming social activity?
In the end, whether it was roller skating or road running, each competitor performed first-class. Although we can't go through the specific game stats and scores at this time, we can be sure that every participant has earned respect and applause. After the race, whether it was sweat or tears, it reflected the true meaning of this marathon - not only for the victory on the track, but also for the belief in never giving up.
At the end of the game, we don't need to say much. Because every start and sprint, every smile and tear is enough to tell the excitement and significance of this 2024 Huangpu Marathon. It's not just an event, it's a festival, and it's a way for Huangpu to show its energy and charm to the world.
