hi!
One of my favorite hobbies is running. I have completed

2 marathons (42.16 km) and a half marathon (21.8 km)! I love running long distance and it will always be part of my life. I’m curious what running culture is like in China?
I plan on moving there for a year to study. Do you think I will be able to continue running while in China?

    Hi，Emma. There are a lot of different marathon groups and hiking groups. You will be able to find a group to run when you are in China. Welcome to China😊

    @Catyr thank you so much! I like yours too

  • Catyr

    Wow , I love your life style.

    @Emma thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

    @Emma I think 2 years doesn’t sound like much at all. I thought it would be longer.

  • Emma

    @Yonlin Wong it was difficult but once you get used to it’s not that bad! I ran my first marathon after 2 years of running. It sounds like a lot to train for one race but it was totally worth it. It set me up for a life time of running :)

  • Yonlin Wong

    Did you find it hard to train for the marathon. I’d love to do one one day.

    @Emma I think you should think first about what kind of city do you like

  • Emma

    @Taka thank you so much! I did lots of running in japan and I loved it so much!

  • Taka VIP

    I’m impressed by you. You must have trained so much. I hope you will achieve next your goal ✨

    @Emma I think you can come to Shanghai first. First of all, there are many peoples like running, and there are many foreigners. You can easily find partners. Secondly, there are marathon races in the surrounding cities. Moreover, Shanghai is a more international city.

  • Emma

    @天籁 I’m more interested in trail running. Any recommendations?

  • 天籁

    there are many Marathons in Chinese big city, say Shanghai, Beijing, Suzhou...

  • Emma

    @Ailsa I actually haven’t decided yet 🤭 since there are so many chinese language schools I have a lot of choices. Maybe you can help me pick! ^_^

  • Ailsa

    which city do you want to g o?

  • Emma

    @张峰 that’s so exciting!! Thank you for telling me!

  • 张峰

    @Emma 公园里或者大街上都可以！每个城市都有组织，你可以加入他们！

  • Wangzhichen

    @张峰 不不，有个别城市是没有的

  • Emma

    @张峰 where do people normally train?

  • 张峰

    在中国，几乎每个城市都有马拉松
