The 2024 Easy Run Forest Cross-Country Half Marathon breaks the "convention" in people's minds.
On April 27, more than 4,300 runners from the Yangtze River Delta region crossed dense forests, flowers and mountains in Gongqing Forest Park, with green grass under their feet and gurgling streams beside them. This is the only light off-road event in the heart of Shanghai. The runner lamented that it turned out that in the center of the city, he could also enjoy the long-lost wild fun.
Breathing in the fresh air after the rain and running in the forest oxygen bar is very different from the running experience on the asphalt road. Marathons in Yangpu are certainly not new. From 5 kilometers to half the marathon, from 1,500 to nearly 5,000 people, Yangpu's marathon has been growing and expanding.
The marathon is too hot, and there are too many people who want to sign up, what should I do? Referring to international and domestic professional events, open lottery, so that everyone who wants to participate has a fair chance to compete.
Running a horse in the park in the early morning is like a person swimming in a painting. Walking through the "Flower Language Forest", "Splendid Flowers", "Dream Huanhua Creek" and "Monet's Garden", the fun of the integration of man and nature is all in it. The half-marathon is not over yet, and the second round of sports carnival has begun. Replenishing sports drinks and learning first aid skills, the carnival became a sports feast for runners to warm up and relax. The dragon dance stretches its arms, throws pots to practice eyes, and intangible cultural heritage can also be closely related to sports.
The runners in the Yangtze River Delta are communicating, and the industry is also communicating. There are many new productivity enterprises in Yangpu, and the competition brings together outstanding runners in the enterprises. Trendy sports and niche sports products appeared in the booth, and Zhifei Aviation proved with drone football that emerging sports forms are becoming more and more diversified.
With the race as the medium, the race to read the city, the Gongqing Forest Park, where the carnival and the half-horse are integrated, is the running city parlor.
Run a half marathon and visit Yangpu. The first half was a marathon and the second half was Citywalk. For humanities lovers, Fudan District, Tongji University, and Shangsu University are recommended, and the beautifully built Yangpu District Library and Jiangwan Stadium are also not to be missed. Explore the fireworks and go to Wujiaochang, Douyin Plaza, Youfang Shopping Center, and Daxue Road. Feel the interweaving of nature and fashion along the Yangpu Riverside, Wanzhu Garden, Bimo Palace, Fuxing Island, and International Fashion Center are waiting for you. There are three routes of Yangpu Cultural Tourism, there is always one suitable for you.
Yangpu attracts tourists, and sports drive consumption. There are 1,665 sports industry units with a total scale of 27.54 billion yuan, and 27 top 500 sports enterprises, ranking third in the city in terms of operating income. This industrial report card proves the "endogenous kinetic energy" of Yangpu's sports economy. Starting from the marathon, Yangpu is building a new consumption scene and activating the new economic and new business format of 'event + cultural tourism'.
1 National Sports Industry Demonstration Base, 1 National Sports Industry Demonstration Unit, 4 National Sports Industry Demonstration Projects, 2 Typical Cases of Intelligent Sports of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, 6 Shanghai Sports Industry Demonstration Units, and 8 Shanghai Sports Industry Demonstration Projects, Yangpu should be the No.1 in the city's sports industry.
In the second half of the "14th Five-Year Plan", in the construction plan of public sports facilities in Yangpu District, there will be 3 new (reconstructed) urban sports centers, 10 citizen fitness trails, 10 citizen sports courts, 6 community football fields, 200 citizen puzzle fitness courts, 8 new community citizen fitness centers, 8 citizen fitness stations, and 12 sports and health homes for the elderly.
To create a city business card that integrates culture, sports, business and tourism, Yangpu has a plan. In this way, it is also a concrete expression of "people's city and people's construction" in the field of sports.
