XTEP Cup Long Distance Race Runs Out Of Health And Runs Out Of Happiness.

Running around in the neighborhood

One hour before the start of the competition, the square in the sports center of Jinjiang was already crowded with people. All the long-distance runners came early, some were busy warming up, others walked around and saw many runners.

Reporters found that among many competitors, there were not only long-distance runners from various towns and streets in Jinjiang, but also long-distance running organizations such as Xiamen, Quanzhou, Shishi and Dehua in Jinjiang.

No, the competition hasn't started yet. The athletes of Shishi jogging Association, Dehua porcelain capital run association and Quanzhou Institute of Technology long distance run club are busy preparing for a photo before the stage of the launching ceremony.

As soon as I heard that Jinjiang will hold the first long-distance running competition, the Dehua ceramic capital Jian run association immediately sent more than 20 athletes to enter the competition.

Association staff told reporters that since the establishment of the association, there are basic long-distance running activities every week, and teams often participate in marathon competitions in Shanghai, Dalian and Macao.

This time in Jinjiang, the association also hopes to communicate with the newly established Jinjiang long distance running association to deepen communication between the two runners.

Brothers arrived

After the brief launching ceremony, the XTEP cup, the first long distance race in Jinjiang, started firing.

All the contestants, guided by the guided cars, proceed from the main entrance of the sports center to the century sports center, the broadcasting and television building, the patriotic building, the department store, the Tangyuan street, the Southview Hotel, the International Trade Building or Cetra Building, the municipal standard and the Century Mansion. Finally, they return to the Jinjiang sports center.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the competition, the traffic control department specially dispatched the police force to carry out traffic command at important junctions. The health department arranged the ambulance and medical rescue personnel to provide full protection. The Jinjiang hospital also opened a green channel for the event to facilitate medical treatment; the League City Committee also organized dozens of young volunteers to provide voluntary services for this competition.

Just sixteenth minutes after the game, the runner came up to the finish line.

Contestant number 1001 Qiu Wentao and Qiu Wenhua, number 1500, advance shoulder to shoulder.

In the end, Qiu Wentao first hit the line with the advantage of a body position to win the men's group championship. Qiu Wenhua took the lead in winning the second runner up.

What makes reporters curious is that although Qiu Wenhua didn't win the championship, he was not too upset. Instead, he took the initiative to celebrate with the champion.

Reporters asked, the two men were brothers, and the younger brother won the championship. Qiu Wenhua, who was his brother, was also very happy.

Through interviews, reporters learned that the two brothers often participated in all kinds of long-distance race before, but the results of their younger brother Qiu Wentao were generally better. Wen Tao had won 5000 meters individual champion in the Provincial Games and the University Games in the whole province. Therefore, participating in the competition is also inevitable. "My best result was 14 minutes and 40 seconds, because I haven't practiced for a long time, so today's performance is not very good.

But I am very happy to win the championship.

Qiu Wentao said.

Sisters join hands

The champion of the men's group was taken over by the brothers. The top two members of the women's group were acquaintances. Chen Shifang and Ye Yanxia, who also came from the training base of Ying Lin middle school, were regarded as sisters of the same class.

Before the competition, Chen Shifang and 10 other students in Ying Lin middle school followed Chen Jianhua, who came to the stadium early.

Unlike other players who simply do some warm-up exercises, Chen Shifang and his classmates are running all the way in the sports center square before they start. "Usually we practice 12 to 16 kilometers. Today, I heard that the competition is only 5 kilometers, so let the children run more and get into the competition ahead of schedule."

Chen Jianhua told reporters.

In this way, the match has not yet started, and Chen Shifang and her teammates have been running for half an hour.

But the coach's arrangement really worked.

After the competition began, the athletes of Ying Lin middle school quickly entered the competition and quickly formed the first group.

In the end, Chen Shifang and Ye Yanxia got the top two in the women's group, and the other two teammates also got good results in fifth and sixth.

"Because I had not run this road before, I was rather unfamiliar, so today's performance is quite general."

Chen Shifang told reporters after the match.

During the half marathon race around Mount Longhu in Jiangxi, she had won second good results.

Next, she will follow her coach to Shenzhen and Shenyang to participate in the long-distance race in two places. She said she would make good use of the next time to make a good adjustment and strive for better results in the following matches.
