Tomorrow, 16 May, sees two fun runs take place at Yangshan Park in Qixia District’s Xianlin area, which the organiser hopes can be a reason for the local foreign community to come back together again, amid the recovery of China while divisions remain elsewhere.
明天，5月16日，两场欢乐跑将在栖霞区仙林区阳山公园举行，组织者希望这能够成为当地外国人社区在中国复苏之际，在其他地方仍然存在分裂的情况下再次团结起来的一个理由。
The Yangshan Park Run takes place as its name suggests, among the sprawling green of Yangshan Park, situated near Yangshanhu Metro Station. The station serves as the pre-race meeting point where runners should gather tomorrow morning at 8.30.
阳山公园跑正如其名，位于阳山公园广阔的绿色之中，靠近阳山湖地铁站。该站是赛前集合点，明天早上 8.30 跑步者将在此集合。

The two runs are the longer 5km version that takes in both Yangshan Lake and the adjacent hill, while the 2 km version is essentially a run around the lake.
这两条跑道是较长的 5 公里版本，涵盖了阳山湖和邻近的山丘，而 2 公里版本则基本上是绕湖运行。

Further important advice is to observe social distancing guidance and wear masks during travel to and from the event, especially if taking public transport. Masks must not be worn while running.
进一步重要的建议是遵守社交距离指导，并在往返活动期间佩戴口罩，尤其是乘坐公共交通工具时。跑步时不得佩戴口罩。
Organiser, Zhang Yi, spoke with The Nanjinger as to the hastily arranged runs, saying, “I am trying to keep this low profile because I want to have this before the weather is getting too warm. Applying for permit and sponsorships from local authorities would take too long”.
组织者张毅在接受《南京人》采访时谈到仓促安排的跑步活动，他说：“我试图保持低调，因为我想在天气变得太热之前进行跑步。向当地政府申请许可和赞助会花费太长时间”。
A keen distance runner, with a few marathons and ultra marathons under his belt, Zhang further said that his intention behind organising the activity was to bring the local foreign community back together after the long “winter” hibernation due to Covid-19. “It’s a fun, family oriented event”, he added.
作为一名热衷于长跑的运动员，他参加过一些马拉松和超级马拉松，他进一步表示，他组织这次活动的目的是让当地的外国人社区在因Covid-19而经历了漫长的“冬季”冬眠后重新团结起来。 “这是一次有趣的、面向家庭的活动”，他补充道。
