beijing runners come to the bowl
In those years, we took physical education classes at Beijing University of Technology, ran around the Temple of Heaven, participated in the Xiamen Marathon online, and volunteered for the Xishan New Year Cross-Country Run... We are a group of people who not only focus on running but also on eating. We've had night runs after snowfalls and runs with masks during smoggy days, but we always prioritize safety and health. As long as you are willing to take the first step, aiming to strengthen your body and with a heart that wants to run, join us. Here, you will always find someone or a group of people with a similar pace and rhythm!
[Running Group Name]: Codoon Beijing Temple of Heaven Running Group
[Established]: June 2015
[Group Size]: 185 people
[Base]: Beijing Temple of Heaven Park, Beijing Longtan Lake Park
[Activity Frequency]: Twice a week (Tuesday at Longtan Lake 19:00—21:00, Friday at Temple of Heaven 19:00—21:00)
[Group Introduction]: The Codoon Beijing Temple of Heaven Running Group has collaborated with companies like Li-Ning Yiji, Let's Run, Yingdong Sports, and Perfect Travel. We have organized events such as summer glow runs, Qixi-themed night runs, physical education classes at Beijing University of Technology, single dog rescue runs, night runs after snowfalls, Temple of Heaven horse runs, and Xiamen online marathons. We've also participated in group runs at Tianma, Chengma, Shangma, and Birdma, and volunteered for the Xishan New Year Cross-Country Run. We have professional running coaches (Coach Zhang Lei—nickname: Thor) who lead warm-ups, post-run stretches, and physical training, and answer questions runners may have. Sometimes, they also teach running knowledge and self-defense techniques.
In addition to the regular bi-weekly runs, the group also organizes private runs, cycling, skiing, swimming, table tennis, and badminton. We are a group that focuses on eating as well as running. During each regular run, many members voluntarily bring snacks like pancakes, fruits, chestnuts, yogurt, chocolate beans, and roasted sweet potatoes. Of course, we also have our moments of whimsy, like night runs after rain, night runs after snow, and runs with masks during smoggy days. We cancel activities when conditions are not suitable for running because we prioritize safety and health. The group is open to all ages and paces, with both old and new members. As long as you are willing to take the first step, aiming to strengthen your body and with a heart that wants to run, join us. Here, you will always find someone or a group of people with a similar pace and rhythm!
