Hundreds of runners swapped cityscapes for bamboo forests this weekend as Anji, Zhejiang Province, hosted a trail running event that blended fitness with eco-conscious vibes. Participants – from adrenaline-chasing pros to families with kids and even 🐕 furry companions – tackled winding paths through misty villages and iconic bamboo groves, proving that #WeekendGoals can be both adventurous and Earth-friendly.
The event wasn’t just about burning calories. Runners described it as a 'digital detox' and a chance to 'feel the earth breathe' beneath their feet. One participant joked, 'My legs hate me, but my Instagram feed loves me!' 📸
Anji’s shift toward green tourism is sprinting ahead 🚀. With similar events now weekly occurrences, the region shows how sustainable development isn’t a distant dream – it’s a path we’re already jogging on. As one organizer put it: 'When you run through these forests, you’re not just visiting nature – you’re part of its story.'
