Keen runners have plenty of choices
Print Edition
Nine running routes in Jiading have been attracting public attention since an article “Best Places for Night Running in Jiading” was posted on WeChat.
The sites are Shanghai Auto Expo Park, Chenjiashan Park, Jiabei Country Park, Yuanxiang Lake, Beishui Bay Sports Park, Juyuan Orchard, Yinxiang Lake Park, Huating Renjia and Jiading Stadium.
“For beginners, beautiful scenery can help them improve physical endurance when running,” said runner Chen Xue.
Fellow runner Qiu Shan agreed the scenery brings pleasure but is not the top priority when he chooses a running route.
“Firstly, we need to take the safety and comfortableness of routes into consideration,” Qiu said. Runners should choose routes with good road conditions and a limited number of traffic lights to disrupt their rhythm, he added.
Shanghai Auto Expo Park is a favorite with professional runners.
The park has wide roads with adequate inclines, a good environment and asphalt roads suitable for running. Routes of 2.3, 3.8 and 5 kilometers have been set up to meet the demands of various groups.
The synthetic tracks at Shanghai University, Tongji University and Ziqi Donglai Sports Court are also popular with local runners. Many professional running training camps are set up in these places.
For those citizens running for fun and relaxation, fitness paths across Jiading are a good choice. So far, the district has built 74 fitness paths with synthetic surfaces.
