codoon beijing online marathon awaits your challenge!
On September 17th, the annual BEIJING Online Marathon called out to runners across the nation. The memories of Beijing's unique charm became vivid and bright once again. After much cultivation, the call of Tiananmen and the national flag has been deeply imprinted in the minds of the people, not only as a sentiment that must be experienced once in a lifetime but also as a rich source of happiness, making the golden autumn appointment with the marathon infinitely legendary. Since the advent of online marathon runners, a date with the capital has become a royal feast in the running world, leaping under locust trees, ginkgo trees, blue skies, and red walls.
You can walk 5 kilometers through the alleys, dream back to Sanlitun in 10 kilometers, cross Chang'an Street in a half marathon, and run freely through Tiananmen in a full marathon. With the capital in your heart, there is always an online course suitable for you as a runner. The melodious singing of Peking Opera, the crispness of roast duck, the color of pea cakes, the street fashion of Sanlitun, the bustling traffic of Chang'an Street, and the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen... all these details make people eager to participate in this magnificent online marathon and feel the charm of the city.
The changing fortunes of the capital and the mottled years of the alleys are all encapsulated in the 'Daomadan' face mask medal of the BEIJING Online Marathon. The medal is modeled after the pure old Beijing flavor of the Peking Opera Huadan. The full head of pearl ornaments in lotus red and blue and white porcelain echoes the dragon pattern on the back, adding to the imperial grandeur; the pheasant feather on the top is vivid and adds a touch of might and grace. Today, after thousands of years, the battles on the battlefield have transformed into a race against time on the track. The courage buried deep in the heart is inspired by this Daomadan medal, transforming into the power of running in BEIJING.
Codoon has integrated the concept of Peking Opera 'famous roles' into the online medals, symbolizing identity and honor, while also encouraging all runners to 'get into character' during the online race. Online running is a process of thinking and also a process of settling down, especially when running under the 'Emperor's feet' from Chang'an Street all the way to the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest. This history, tempered over 37 years, is full of the fragrance of the imperial city. The resonance triggered by 'Beijing Time 7 o'clock' under the changes of the times makes everyone feel the urge to move forward and strive continuously. Why is it a feast? The details of the great capital have already explained everything.
