First-year student Jing Wang has been crowned champion of DKU Athletics’ 28-Day Running Challenge after clocking up a total of 165.82 kilometres from October 1 to 29.
“It was hard, but my parents and friends offered me a lot of support,” she said. “I’m glad that I persisted. The activity improved my physical condition; running frequently also helps to refresh me and I can study better.”
Yifan Song came in very close 2nd place and equally impressive 165.62 km, with Beilong Tang finishing 3rd with an outstanding 156.42 km. Our winners received the running watch and headphones for their phenomenal efforts. Running Challenge was organized to help students prepare for the National Health Standards and 103 students participated over the course of 28 days. Athletics aims to organize the same event before every National Health Test, and hope to see more students register and participate every year!
