Blending Ancient Heritage with Modern Innovation on the Racecourse
This year’s race kicks off along the Bailang River Greenway, featuring a 58-kilometer ecological corridor that connects historic landmarks such as the Bailang Green Wetland Park, Jianmen Pass, and the Eastern City Wall of Weifang County.
During the race period, the Weifang Urban Garden and Sanitation Departments have meticulously maintained the course, employing a combination of “machine automation and manual efforts” for deep cleaning, green restoration, and scenic enhancements.

Additionally, the “Weifang Elephant” emblem represents ecological balance, promoting Weifang’s vision as an “international and inclusive city.”
As the starting gun fires and thousands of runners take to the track, Chairman Zhang joins participants in a journey that is more than just a 10-mile race—it is a symbolic bridge between tradition and modernity, health and innovation. This springtime run is a tribute to Weifang’s urban spirit and a declaration of its future aspirations.
