Running brings us different feelings: health, happiness, ease of stress, social interaction, participation and self affirmation. Or run like Haruki Murakami in order to get a blank. No matter what the initial intention of running is, a very obvious trend is that running has become a part of more and more people's life and become a way of life. The frugal and cheap running sport is actually forming a huge industrial cake that is hard to predict. Behind thousands of running friends, the "running economy" is quietly forming.

With the explosive growth of runners, running has become a popular carnival. In Xiamen, Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shanghai and other cities, marathon competitions take turns.
