Many events such as North Malaysia will be held one after another, and domestic marathon events will be restarted one after another

　　Recently, the official announcement of the 2022 Beijing Marathon will be held on November 6.

This is the first time that North Malaysia has achieved the rematch after three years, and it has become a sign of the imminent recovery of the national marathon event.

At the same time, a number of domestic marathon brand events, including Taiyuan Marathon, Xiamen Marathon, and Yangzhou Half Marathon, have also announced that they will restart in November.

　　Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in early 2020, the domestic marathon event, which has maintained rapid development for many years, has fallen silent for a while.

While the offline marathon events are actively restarting at the same time, the various forms of competition represented by online have led to more people to participate, and at the same time, domestic marathon events have undergone some adjustments and reorganizations.

North Malaysia returns after three years

　　"Are there any registrations from North Malaysia?" "What do you plan to wear for the race?"... After the Beijing Marathon started registration during the National Day holiday, the topic of the North Marathon was very hot on the Internet-related forums.

It is reported that this year's Beijing Marathon has a scale of 30,000 participants and only a full marathon event.

　　The Beijing Marathon is one of the highest-level marathon events in China, certified by the International Athletics Federation.

Since its inception in 1981, the North Malaysia session has been held every year, but it was cancelled for two consecutive years in 2020 and 2021 due to the epidemic.

The reason why the news of the return of North Malaysia this year has attracted attention from all walks of life is that this is the first offline event held in North Malaysia in three years.

　　31-year-old Zhao Jun, a runner who has participated in the full marathon, also signed up to participate in the North Horse.

He believes that running offline is completely different from running on your own.

"There are many passers-by and volunteers who will cheer for the players, and they won't want to stop when they are driven by a group of people until they sprint to the finish line." As of press time, Zhao Jun is still waiting for the final result of the lottery.

Multiple competitions to come

　　On the eve of National Day, the Wuxi Marathon scheduled to be held on November 6 announced the results of the draw.

As one of the most influential marathon events in the country, the "fixed file" of Xima allows runners to see the hope of the recovery of the event.

　　The reporter learned that starting from October 30, the major marathons will begin to "get together".

More than a dozen road running events, including the Chengdu Marathon and the Suzhou (Taihu) Marathon, are scheduled to start on this day.

　　November 6 could be called the first "ultramarathon weekend" of the year.

In addition to the North Marathon and Xima, more than 20 marathon events across the country, including the Changsha Marathon, Taiyuan Marathon, and Taishan Marathon, will be fired at the same time.

Since then, Yangzhou Half Marathon, Hangzhou Marathon, Xiamen Marathon, Chongqing Marathon, Shanghai Marathon and other brand events will also be held in November.

　　In the first half of this year, due to repeated epidemics, many marathon events in China were postponed or cancelled.

In July, the State Sports General Administration issued a document requesting the safe and orderly resumption of offline sports events, increasing the supply of outdoor sports events such as marathons, and injecting a booster for the return of events.

The organizing committees of major marathon events in China then began to enter the intense preparations for the restart.

　　The marathon has a large number of participants and a wide range of venues, which is a test of the ability to run the race and the level of epidemic prevention and control.

The marathon is about to usher in a full recovery, which will undoubtedly boost the confidence of the domestic sports industry.

Various forms to help fitness

　　Since the outbreak of the epidemic, although offline marathon events have struggled, online marathon events have continued to heat up.

In the past National Day holiday, the Beijing Miyun Eco-Marathon Online Competition with more than 200,000 runners was successfully completed.

　　Kong Xiangjin, a Beijing citizen who participated in the online marathon for the first time, signed up for the 10-kilometer run in this event. Although his results were not outstanding, he felt very rewarding.

He believes that the spirit of the marathon is to constantly conquer oneself and fight tenaciously.

"Even if you can't get a good ranking, you have broken through yourself, and your efforts are not in vain."

　　In addition to the popularity of online running, in the past two years, various parts of the country have also developed more flexible competition models to help the whole people get fit.

According to Shao Xiaojun, director of the Beijing Sports Competition Management Center, Beijing has adopted a method of breaking down the original large-scale marathon with tens of thousands of participants to a controllable scale. The main small and medium-sized events, improve the success rate of the event.

　　Facing the quiet recovery of domestic marathon events, fitness expert Yang Tianchen reminded runners that marathon is a high-intensity, long-distance competitive sport, and it is also a risky competitive event, which has high requirements on the physical condition of the participants.

"General runners can't be blind, they should start from short distances, gradually accumulate experience, and decide whether to participate and the distance of participation based on their own physical conditions."
