Have you started moving after your feast over Lunar New Year break? What’s your fitness resolution for the year of tiger? 15 DKUers have joined the first 5K Park Run on campus this semester on February 12th, some came to exercise and make new friends while others were here to push their limits.

Beilong Tang’25 (first from left), a member of the DKU basketball club is also a runner, this is his fifth time participating in Park Run. “I always hear people talk about how you should control your legs while you are running, but I think running is more about getting started and persistency.” Said Beilong, who broke his own 5k record by completing the course in 21:19 this time at Park Run.

DKU 5k Park Run is a biweekly running and social event usually held on Saturday mornings in Dayu Bay open to all runners around the local community. Due to recent Covid restrictions, the first Park Run this semester is held on campus. Click here to stay updated with our coming up events.
