Elite women’s 10K race set for December
Print Edition
THE 2018 Shanghai International Women’s Elite 10K Race will be held in Changning District on December 2, the organizers announced yesterday.
It will be the largest women’s 10-kilometer race in Shanghai’s downtown area, featuring a total of 4,000 female participants — 3,500 in the 10K main race and 500 in the 2km health run.
“The women’s 10K will be a complementary race for the existing major running events in Shanghai,” said Zhou Jin, general manager of organizer Shanghai Donghao Lansheng Event Management Company.
Zhou said the race will be upgraded to the Shanghai International Women’s Half Marathon next year.
“We want to encourage the habit of running among women, and gradually cultivate more female runners, who can start from 10km and take part in the 21km half marathon next year,” said Zhou.
A report issued by Chinese Athletics Association from 2017 showed that about 73 percent of regular runners in China are men, while 27 percent are women.
