More than 4,000 runners took part in the annual Women's Half Marathon at Beijing Garden Expo Park on September 23.
 
Organizers designed three competitions to cater for sports lovers of different levels, including a half-marathon, mini fun run and an online race.
 
The event was sponsored by Beijing Women's Federation, the Chinese Athletic Association, Beijing Municipal Bureau of Sports and Fengtai District people's government.
 
To secure runners' safety, organizers set up several drinking water stops, energy depots and portable toilets.
 
Furthermore, the committee also provided support cars, marathon wagons and medical care teams.
 
Each runner who finished got a tulip as a prize, and the first 1,000 were given a small gemstone as a bonus.
 
The race was the 2nd Beijing women's half marathon, following the women's federation inaugural race in the city last year.
 
Organizers hoped to spice up city life, promote a healthy lifestyle and warm up for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
