st International Coastal Amusement Festival comes to an end

The 2016 Coastal Joy Running activity, the last major event of the 1st International Coastal Amusement Festival, which has been started since April this year, was held on November 6 at the newly completed Sports Park of the Hangzhou Bay New Zone of Ningbo. At nine in the morning, 3000 runners from 11 countries or regions including Canada, Brazil, France, Italy, South Korea and China attended the race on the colorful jogging path of the park. The theme of this event is "slow pace, sports, joy and love".

The Sports Park, the starting point of this race, is itself a major project for production-city integration and "colorful life scheme". The 3889-meter long colorful jogging path, with an investment of 13.04 million yuan, is also a major project of the construction of the international coastal town. The joy running route, integrating the Sports Park, the jogging path, the Guantang Lake, and such ecological elements as ginkgo and reed catkins, reflects the image of the town of health and ecology.

The race includes a 10-kilometer racing run, involving 1000 runners, and a 5-kilometer joy run, involving the other 2000 runners. Li Zicheng, the No.1 runner for marathon in China, finally got the first place for the male team for the racing run, while Cao Xuhui got the first place for the female team.

Another highlight of the running is the corporate group registration. About 1000 employees from over 20 enterprises of the new zone attended the 5-kilometer joy run, including over 100 runners from the Golden Resources Group and Ningbo Branch of Shanghai Volkswagen respectively.

The Coastal Amusement Festival is a major festival celebration for the new zone this year, with the theme of "joy, health and dream", the festival has carried out 18 activities from April to November.
