On October 31, the 2021 Chengdu Marathon will start with a gunshot. When Chengma entered its fifth year, the Chengdu Marathon Organizing Committee also launched a special plan for the fifth anniversary of Chengma - the 2021 Chengdu Marathon City Creative Slogan Collection Activity, with the theme of "Voice of Inspiration, Helping running into a horse".
As the "best marathon", of course, there is also a corresponding organic and interesting slogan, the excellent award slogan collected by this event will have the opportunity to display the creators in Chengdu's landmark buildings and on both sides of the Chengma Track in the cycle before and after the Chengma holding, and the author of the Excellent Award will win the 2022 Chengdu Marathon place! After the launch of the creative slogan collection activity, many celebrities and senior runners in the sports world also invested in it with great enthusiasm.
Today, Ma Jia, a runner who contributed to the collection of creative slogans for Chengma, is Ma Jia, a runner who once successfully made a circle with a Beijing Guoan jersey. In early 2015, when this authentic Beijing girl wore her beloved Beijing Guoan jersey to the starting point of major competitions, she always gained more attention.
I love football and I love running
"Guoan Beauty Fans" ran to fame
At the Hong Kong Marathon six years ago, a female runner wearing a Beijing Guoan jersey quickly occupied the photo sections of the major social media and websites at that time, and was named "the most American runner", and this runner is our protagonist Ma Jia today. Ma Jia recalled her debut at the race, saying, "In fact, marathon events are a stage for mass runners to show themselves. I hope runners across the country can see more of our Guoan fans, after all, this is my favorite home team. ”

When she joined a sports media a few years ago, Ma Jia was able to travel more to various venues because of the coincidence of her work. "In the name of running, I have known many runners from the north and south," Ma Jia said, "everyone is because of the marathon, and a large part of them have become my friends." "Nowadays, although due to the change of work and the acceleration of the pace, coupled with the impact of the epidemic in the past two years, Ma Jia's participation in the race has gradually decreased, "but every time I get together with my friends on a different track, it is a grand gathering." ”
The "boring theory of running" is refuted by reality
Running is already an effective way to socialize
After years in the running circle, Ma Jia was called "the most well-connected person" by her friends. "But whenever there is a need to inquire about things in the circle, she is always the one who will be mentioned by name." In fact, from the beginning of participating in marathon events around the world, Ma Jia joined a lot of running groups, and was willing to do organizational work for this group of friends with the same preferences around her.

"Marathons have become a trend in the past decade, and people don't just run a race, but more through this sport to maintain a group of friends, to maintain a circle like this." Ma Jia said that although today's running circle activities have changed a lot, everyone will not just be a circle of running together, but there will be more connections in all aspects of work and life. "There have been some people who don't know about the sport who have advocated the boring theory of running, but at least from my own experience, running is a very effective way to socialize, allowing me to enrich my social circle after work and play with friends who are really interested." 」
Overslept and regretted missing out on his debut
The Chengma "Shuye" players are eager to compete in Chengdu again
As early as two years ago, Ma Jia successfully registered for the Chengdu Marathon with her friends, and everyone participated in the half marathon event. "We had all collected our race bags before the race," Ma Jia recalls, "but after collecting our race items on the afternoon of the first day, we started our food tour." Because they had not seen each other for a long time with their friends in Chengdu, they "turned wine into horses" the day before the game, and did not leave until the early morning. The next day everyone "tacitly" failed to get up early, "so unfortunately missed my own debut." ”

In the past two years, due to the sudden increase in pressure after the job change, Ma Jia also has a job to deal with almost every weekend, resulting in the failure to come to the stage of Chengma again. "To be honest, after changing the track the next year, this track through the ancient and modern times of Chengdu has a strong attraction for me, and seeing that there are very rich Chengdu food supplies along the track, I will definitely come to Chengdu to participate in the race again in the future!"
In a man-car relay race last year, although Ma Jia did not participate in the race, she escorted the 5 contestants throughout the trip as a "butler". She said: "In fact, running is a social, like-minded people, not far from the mountains and seas. I also want to send this sentence to every runner who participates in the horse, everyone is coming to Chengdu because of the same interest, please enjoy the horse and enjoy every surprise moment that Chengdu creates for you. ”
