On the morning of October 17, on the edge of the clear Xin'an River in Jiande, the "Red Moving Zhejiang" 2021 Jiande 17 °C Xin'an River Marathon started at the Jiande Museum. The Jiande Marathon consists of full horse, half horse and happy running, professional runners from 31 provinces and cities in China, foreign runners from the United States, Germany, Canada and other countries stationed in China, as well as the public, a total of nearly 10,000 runners gathered in Jiande.
In the glorious journey of the centenary of the founding of the party, Jiande, a red hot land, has a profound historical background, and here is the red culture that has been passed down from generation to generation - the Qianhe Village, which shouts out that "women can hold up half of the sky", the "three self" spirit of the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, Dayang Town, one of the important birthplaces of the Red Revolution in western Zhejiang, the Shounan Riot Memorial Hall, and the Yanzhou Middle School History Museum. As the first marathon in Zhejiang Province in the second half of 2021, and also one of the sub-stations of the "Red Moving Zhejiang" Marathon Series, Jianma sounded the Jiande horn of the marathon event with a passionate sports feast today.
Part of the track of this Jiande Marathon is set on the famous Xin'an Greenway in Jiande. I believe that with the "most beautiful" marathon track stringing up the beautiful scenery, intoxicating air and thick history of Xin'anJiang, this most romantic, most poetic, most beautiful and most self-contained domestic ring river marathon track will surely make runners linger and remember deeply!
The most romantic: Jiande Marathon has been promoting "love" as the highlight, and the 17 ° C of the Xin'an River represents that the feelings between lovers can maintain the right temperature, and also represents that people's love is as clear and transparent as the river. Many couples once met and knew each other on the Xin'an River, and now they are meeting to compete and run side by side. Following every step of the romantic track, with every breath in the landscape, the runners also fell in love with the city of Jiande.
The most poetic: This full marathon, starting from the Jiande Museum, which has just been built on the first anniversary, runs along the Xin'an Greenway to the ancient city of Yanzhou, which is known as "Half a Plum Blossom City". The end of the race is located under the Chengcheng Gate City, where the runners cross the line, accompanied by the pleasant wind chimes on the city tower, drifting away with the wind, as if crossing the long river of history, listening to the "Qiantang River, half of the Tang Dynasty poems" deep and heroic.
The most beautiful: The Xin'an River flows through the Huangrao Peninsula, where the river makes a big "zigzag" turn. The clear river water seems to be reluctant to such a scenery, this marathon track naturally will not be missed, the "most beautiful track" led the runners to run through a number of scenic punch points in Jiande, of which the runners are most pleasing to the eye is the Huangrao Peninsula Flower Sea. Huahai is located in the core area of Xiaya Town, where the Xin'an River is clear and the mountain clouds are rising and falling. It is the golden autumn of October, which is the most beautiful season in the Huangrao Peninsula. Thousands of acres of rice paddies surround the track, even if it is a racing competition, the players can't help but slow down, lingering between sunflowers, whooping grass, cosmos and other flowers.
The most ego: running freely, wanton to love. Jiande not only has a 17 °C Xin'anjiang Marathon, but also more cultural and tourism products to experience. From Jiande Renya tens of thousands of years ago to Jiande County in 225 AD, Jiande has been looking for itself and enriching itself in history. With the Jiande Marathon as the main line, runners started from the thick history and met with Baisha Bridge, Yang'an Future Community, and Zhijiang Asian Games Sports Park. This road witnesses the vitality and future of Jiande City, allowing the audience to see Jiande's vigorous and heroic posture.
In the ancient city of Yanzhou, the end point of the whole horse, there are also our very distinctive Hanfu volunteers (pulling sprint belts), the Thousand Cranes Women's Militia Company, the prefect patrol street, the intangible shrimp lantern performance and other teams. In addition, Jiande tofu buns, Yanzhou shortbread, Sandu mochi... A variety of mouth-watering Jiande delicacies are sure to spoil you.
