Sohu Entertainment News Countdown to 1 day! On September 9, the 14th season of "Sohu News Marathon" will start in the suburbs of Beijing. Since its launch in May 2015, the "Sohu News Marathon" has insisted on finding the most beautiful running route in the world with the vision of "running all over China and running all over the world". Before the new season comes, let’s look back on the cities and roads measured by running and the runners you have made in the years, and look for unique running memories.

The most beautiful route in the world is running. The track continues to upgrade and challenges its own limits.

On May 13, 2015, the chairman and CEO of Sohu Group, led by Zhang Chaoyang, the chairman and CEO of Sohu Group, including Marbury, Huang Jianxiang, Zhang Ningjiang, Li Guangjie, Zhou Weitong, Liu Chang, Sun Jiaqi, Li Wei, Huang Yi, Dapeng, Tian Jiada, Xu Jieer, Jin Feibao, Pan Shiyi, Lang Yongchun, and Sun Yingjie, sports and entertainment stars and celebrities in the enterprise and media industry gathered in Beijing's "Olympic Forest Park" to start, and the "Sohu News Marathon" was started.

Two months later, the second season of "Sohu News Marathon" kicked off, and Zhang Chaoyang continued to lead the way. Sports and entertainment stars and corporate leaders including Li Chen, Huang Zheng, Xu Fei, Tian Jiada, Zhang Ningjiang, Zhou Weitong, Du Jiang, Mao Daqing, Bai Bin, Chen Bin, Huang Jianxiang, Lang Yongchun, and Wu Min gathered in Chaoyang Park in Beijing to start the run. Since then, the concept and scale of marathons have been evolving, and the activities have spread to domestic and overseas running destinations, and many "appearance routes" have been planned, and the difficulty of the challenge has continued to increase.

After two "warm-ups" in the park, the third season "Sohu News Marathon" was fully upgraded. Not only did the challenge distance be increased from 10 kilometers to 20 kilometers, but the route planning was also "advanced" from urban road running Changbai Mountain Cross-country Run, with the altitude drop of more than 1,000 meters. After the finish line, the runners climbed 1442 steps one after another and climbed the Tianchi Observation Platform with an altitude of more than 2400 meters.

Then, the "altitude" of the marathon continued to rise. In 2016, the "Sohu News Marathon" came to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang. The entire route is over 2,650 meters above sea level, with a maximum of 3,150 meters. At the same time, the running routes are also changing. Sometimes the road is wide and the surrounding scenery is unobstructed. Sometimes the shuttle paths are surrounded by mountains. Especially before sprinting to the 20-kilometer finish, celebrities and celebrities have to pass a 3-kilometer gravel road and a 3-kilometer dirt road, which further tests physical fitness and willpower.

climbed over the hills and came to the lakes and the oceans. In April 2016, the fifth season marathon started in Yalong Bay, Sanya. The scenery along this running route is intoxicating. Stars and celebrities set off from the outdoor lawn of the hotel in Sun Bay, and ran over 5 kilometers of asphalt roads with more ups and downs. They walked through 13.5 kilometers of relatively gentle and picturesque urban roads, and walked through 1.5 kilometers of coastal beach roads to enjoy the beautiful seaside scenery outlined by elements such as ocean, coconut trees, sunshine, and beaches.

In July of the same year, the "Sohu News Marathon" selected its sixth stop in Qinghai Lake, aiming to convey the environmental protection ceremony and indomitable spirit. The altitude of 3,200 meters is the highest altitude running challenged in previous years. This is also a difficult task for every contestant. Many contestants are running long distances on the plateau for the first time. Although many contestants experienced different degrees of altitude sickness after arriving in Qinghai Lake, they still insisted on leaving running figures on the Charming Plateau.

On October 19, 2016, the "Sohu News Marathon" ran freely in Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and conveyed what he saw and heard to netizens in novel and interesting forms such as "live video" and "live interactive broadcast". After the Sun Moon Lake run, the live broadcast activity of "Celebrities Take You to Taipei" was immediately launched. The stars participating in the running took the theme of "nostalgia", "landmarks" and "fashion", and "live" along three different routes to "live" Taipei's wonderful life, allowing netizens to experience Taipei's unique culture.

Tong Dawei, Chen Yanxi, Xia Yu, Liu Yan, Huang Zheng and other stars appeared near the "Sakura Avenue" in Jingnei Town.

The schedules include three stages: 5 kilometers, 12 kilometers and 21 kilometers. Snow was accumulated in Chongli Mountain that day, and for the running guests, this marathon was quite difficult. Although this is the most abused route in the history of Sohu News Marathon, it is also the most beautiful route in the eyes of the stars.

In 2020, the new crown epidemic hit, the twelfth season of "Sohu News Marathon" pays more attention to the city, the participants, and the connotation and spirit of expression.
