Go to Huangpu and run to happiness!
This is a clear slogan of Huangpu horse, I didn't care about it before, on the track, it seems to feel a trace of the connotation of these eight words, I asked myself: run this horse, are you happy?
As far as my experience is concerned, I am very happy. If you give different marathons a happiness index, what the Whampoa horse does is definitely an event that can make the participants have a high sense of happiness.
The happiness of the Whampoa horse began at the fair, and its participation package was the heaviest in the domestic competition, which really lived up to its name. The bag was full and heavy, and the contents were as practical as ever. The heaviest is 2kg of laundry detergent, and many runners pick it up and hold it in their hands alone, as if they have just come out of the supermarket. There are toothpaste, mouthwash, pineapple beer, prickly pear juice, instant noodles, not to mention chest stickers, number bib buckles, etc.
Its happiness is in the race service, with a unique palm pulse recognition, intimate track reminder signs, and sufficient supply ......In SSGKC, five academicians fired their guns, namely Zhao Yuliang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Liu Liang and Han Enhou, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Min Yonggang, foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, and Ye Siyu, academician of the Canadian National Academy of Engineering.
Its happiness is longer than the atmosphere of the event, and the place where the Huangpu Horse Track passes is not a residential area, but along the way, the atmosphere next to the track is really moving. It is understood that there are a total of 87 track atmosphere points, stage performances, song singing, folk music ensembles, drumming and cheerleading, and other special program performances, helping the runners who run all the way, especially many children, also participated.
Their happiness is finally volunteers, who are not only the service providers of the event, but also the cheerers, spraying enthusiasm to all the participants under the youthful and beautiful faces. This year, there are more than 3,500 volunteers from Huangpu District Youth Volunteer Association, Guangzhou Navigation College, Guangzhou Business School, Guangdong Lingnan Modern Technician College and other institutions, and they are the most enthusiastic fire on the track.
2023 Post Sprint Race Huangpu Horse is just a young event that has reached the fifth session, wrapped in happiness, in the same level of events, it has its own unique label, that is, compared with some top domestic events, it is not far behind.
If you want to talk about the sincerity of running a marathon, Guangzhou Huangpu District is definitely the best.
If you look at the five Whampoa horses, you will find that the track is different every year, why is this happening?Huangpu District is to make full use of the marathon as a carrier to show its own style, so that more people can enter and understand Huangpu.
Unlike other events, this road can not run, that section must be detoured, Huangpu horse every year is the choice, want to run to the **, of course, there are some intentions of the organizers, but in this "change", the marathon factor is sprinkled on every inch of Huangpu's land.
To run the Huangpu Horse, the whole district has really taken action. In the list of the organizing committee, all the directors of the street office are listed.
The atmosphere of some events is often when you run past, only the stage and slogans are seen, and no one is there. The atmosphere of Huangpu horse is real, diverse in form, from young children to the elderly, everyone is a participant in the marathon, this kind of marathon run by the whole people, everyone participates, is the true meaning of the domestic marathon.
The event expo is held at the SSGKC International Convention and Exhibition Centre, and the effect is first-class, comparable to that of Guangma. Outside the convention and exhibition center, the Guangzhou Shopping Festival is underway, and there are many booths, which are worth taking a look around. From He Tangxia subway station, it is only a distance of more than 2k to the expo, and a shuttle bus service is specially arranged to transport the players back and forth.
This year is the fifth anniversary of the Huangpu Marathon, and the organizing committee has sent five surprises to the "loyal runners" who have participated in the Huangpu Marathon for four consecutive years.
Children's painting of the Yellow Horse" activity is also quite meaningful, after the end of the collar, there is a wall full of children's paintings, they are imaginative, painted their own minds of the Whampoa Marathon, but also in the young heart, sowing a marathon seed. In fact, I think it would be more meaningful to give away all these paintings to the contestants after the fair.
Area G, the last district of the Huangpu Horse Happy Run, is a characteristic phalanx organized by the event organizers. Including the education and sports system phalanx, the first phalanx of the Huangpu Iron Army, the phalanx of scientific and technological innovation, the phalanx of "e-enterprises follow the party" Internet enterprises, the phalanx of Knowledge City, the phalanx of intelligent manufacturing, the phalanx of rural revitalization, the phalanx of child-friendly city construction, the phalanx of disability and inclusion, the military phalanx of housing and construction, the phalanx of Huangpu Court, the phalanx of China Merchants Railway, etc.
This form, although it seems a bit deliberate, also has its positive side. It can mobilize various groups to actively participate in sports, and perhaps some of them will later progress to marathon runners. A marathon needs to benefit the local community from multiple dimensions, which is also one thing.
The impression of a race depends a lot on the volunteers. There are two races in Guangzhou this year, the Guangzhou Horse and the Whampoa Horse, and I think that the overall quality of the volunteers in Guangzhou is good, which is a plus point for the two races. Volunteers were able to integrate themselves into the marathon and cheer for the runners while serving well, which was a real surprise for the event.
At the same time, the participants also need to be tolerant of these student volunteers. After the race, I saw that the bag pick-up area was a little messy, but there were a lot of volunteers who helped the players find their bags in the bag storage in one place. What is difficult for me to understand is why the finishers who picked up the bags did not line up, but everyone crowded outside the iron horse, waving their number bibs in their hands, and the more this happened, the more chaotic the situation became.
Is it really difficult to queue up and come first served?I haven't saved a bag since the Liuzhou horse in April this year, but after each race, I also take a look at the bag pick-up situation, and sometimes there are people who don't queue up and crowd together. On the surface, everyone is competing to be the first, but in the disorder, everyone is backward. After the race, the organizing committee sent an apology text message for the long queue and long waiting time during the peak hours of the half-marathon bag pick-up, which is worthy of praise.
Huangpu Horse continues some of the advantages of the new Chinese sports event, such as the track reminder is very intimate, especially on the ups and downs of the track, uphill, how long the slope, down the tunnel, how long the tunnel, can let everyone know. However, there is also carelessness, a 10k supply card with a pattern of energy recharge on it. After 30k, there are also tips for two spray points. It was known before the game that there was no need for spray during the game, so the signs were immediately removed or put down on the side of the road.
The countdown reminder sign, the sign 200 meters away from the finish line, and the 42k kilometers sign, is at least 100 meters away. In the second half of the race, some of the supply points were a little less in the garbage pool, and the paper cups on the ground, fluttering in the wind, were scattered on the track.
After finishing the race, I returned to the hotel near the starting point from the finish line and saw that the starting arch had been demolished, and the 2023 Whampoa Horse was a thing of the past. The happiness index of the five Huangpu horses is high enough, but there is still room for better. Next year, will there be a Whampoa horse with a higher happiness index?
