Season 1: 'Where Are We Going, Dad? Marathon Edition'

Ever since dad got addicted to marathons,in 2017, dad's weekends were either spent running or on the way to a marathon.

Qinling Marathon in the Spring:

In March, before the snow had melted, dad went to participate in the Qinling Marathon.

'Everyday Qinling Marathon' is a purely grassroots running event initiated by Mr. Wang Zhizhou, the first person to run the Qinling Marathon.

It is held once a month (on the third Sunday of each month), with a total length of 43.8 kilometers. To date, 38 editions have been held.

The race is held on the rugged roads at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. The starting point of the 'Qinling Marathon' is set at the Three-faced Buddha in Fengyukou. The route goes 30 li uphill over the majestic Qinling Watershed, from the Yellow River system to the Yangtze River system, then 13 kilometers downhill to the beautiful and serene Taohuayuan: Guanghuo Street Town.

The reason for choosing this route is that we can not only challenge our physical limits but also enjoy the different natural landscapes of the Qinling Mountains, which vary from north to south and change with the seasons.

'Qinling Marathon' is praised by many running enthusiasts as 'the most frequent, the most challenging, the most beautiful, and the tastiest medal marathon.' It is also dad's favorite event.

Dad has run the Qinling Marathon 9 times in two years.

Isn't dad's adorable look after running in the snow very fun?

The weather changes every ten li. While the peach blossoms were just blooming at the foot of the mountain, mom and I were dressed in ancient costumes playing 'Eternal Love' in the peach forest. On the mountain, it was still cold and barren, with snow starting to fall as we ran. Running in the snow, how wonderful it is.

Perhaps this is the charm of the Qinling Marathon.

Yangling International Marathon among the Cherry Blossoms:

In the spring breeze, the horse's hooves are swift, and in one day, you can see all the flowers of Chang'an.

Besides Qinglong Temple, the second place I must recommend for cherry blossom viewing in Chang'an City is the Cherry Blossom Avenue at Yangling Agricultural and Forestry University.

The Yangling Marathon is held every year during the cherry blossom season in April. The route passes through the most beautiful campus of the Agricultural and Forestry University, with romantic cherry blossoms dancing in the wind. It's fantastic.

The golden rape flower trip to Hanzhong:

During the Qingming holiday, we rushed to Hanzhong to participate in the Hanzhong Rape Flower Festival. Unfortunately, there was no marathon in Hanzhong, which wasted such picturesque scenery.

But dad can take pictures of me. Look, don't I look particularly beautiful in dad's photos!

Yinchuan International Marathon in the Movies:

For the first Yinchuan Marathon, our whole family started another marathon trip.

Mom is a 'movie fan and costume drama enthusiast!'

The Western Film Studio, where hundreds of movies such as 'A Chinese Odyssey,' 'New Dragon Gate Inn,' 'Red Sorghum,' and 'The Treasure Hunter' were filmed. After the marathon, we wore the costumes bought in advance from Taobao and spent the whole day in the film studio, letting her enjoy her acting addiction.

Since dad got injured in the Beijing Marathon last year, he no longer pursues speed in races.

He started wearing a GoPro sports camera and became passionate about filming marathon documentaries to let more people understand and fall in love with marathons.

Take your family to run marathons, take Codoon on your travels!

This is the second season of 'Where Are We Going, Dad? Marathon Edition.'

After running more than 10 marathons and over 5000 kilometers in three years, dad was not happy. He felt lost and even a bit sad and depressed.

He actually got depressed!

Mom said: Dad has reached the 'running blues' phase!
