The 2026 China National Fitness Walk and Run Festival, set to take place on October 24th at the Jiulianzhou Wetland Park in Shipan District of Suining City, Sichuan Province, promises an engaging day for fitness enthusiasts. With a total capacity of 5,000 participants, the event features both a beginner-friendly 5-kilometer walk and a competitive 10-kilometer run. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis until all spots are filled.
The Jiulianzhou Wetland Park serves as the perfect backdrop for this celebration of fitness with its sprawling 26 million square meters of lakeside scenery along the Fujiang River. The park's winding greenway offers stunning views and opportunities to immerse oneself in nature, from blooming lotus flowers in summer to snow-like reeds in autumn. Key attractions like Yangzi Beach, Immortal Trace Forest, and Wujiazhou are dotted throughout the landscape.
After crossing the finish line, participants can unwind by strolling along the lakeside boardwalks or enjoying a leisurely boat ride on the park's inner lake, where water birds nest among the reeds and city skyscrapers reflect in the river waters. Each step taken here feels like stepping into a picturesque poem of nature.
The event extends beyond its main competition day to include a series of diverse activities throughout October that cater to both active participants and passive observers alike:
1. Pre-Race Preview & Press Conference: Two weeks ahead, the City Government News Hall will host an exclusive press conference announcing key details about the upcoming festival along with launching online challenges for fitness influencers in Shipan District.
