On April 18th, 2021, Yancheng held a big sports event — Marathon. It continued the themes of the previous (先前的) two races: “Yancheng, a place to open your heart.” and the slogan “Run, Yancheng!” At 7: 30 am, the 2021 Yancheng Marathon started at the north gate of the Yannan Sports Centre in Yancheng during the spring season. This year’s event was limited to 15,000 people, including 4,000 for the full marathon, 42.195km. 6,000 for the half marathon, 21. 097km and 5,000 for the mini marathon, 5km.
It was really a great success. The winner of men’s full marathon is Qian Dingbin while women’s is Zhu Dandan; and Wang Congzheng won the first place of men’s half marathon, Wu Haomin won women’s.
Why do people run a marathon? First of all, it can help people get in shape. As we all know, many people don’t have enough exercise and they get fat easily. Besides, people feel relaxed. They will forget their worries and unhappiness when running. Moreover, holding a marathon can improve the environment of the city so that more people know the city’s history, culture, cultural customs, folk customs and so on.
