The sign-in point in front of Ping County People's Park had already gathered thousands of people.
The participants, dressed in their colorful sportswear, looked like a sea of colors.
"Our great Ping County has made it! We finally got the health run application approved, it's so exciting!"
"Where there's a first, there's a second. Hope we can have it again next year!"
"It'd be great if we could host a half marathon or a full marathon someday!"
"This place is still a bit too small. For a full marathon, you'd have to run into the lower townships, and the route is hard to manage, it's not realistic."
"It's the first time running a race at my doorstep, I'm so excited!"
"If I could get a ranking and stand on the podium, that'd be great!"
"I think that's unlikely! Look at that person being livestreamed over there, yes, that one, they're a famous running circle figure from our Shishi Region."
