Marathon Club of NCNST is founded by doctoral student He Haiyong in 2009, aiming at serving the students and teachers , enriching the extracurricular life of the students and teachers, and promoting the national fitness. There are more than 30 members in the club now, which is one of the largest students’ clubs in NCNST.

Every Thursday afternoon (~5:00 PM) we go to Tsinghua University to have a weekly training. The training plan changes with time. Generally, we run about 15 laps on the playground with the speed of 2 min 30 s per lap. Sometimes we have other activities such as hiking, climbing mountains or taking bicycle on the weekends.

In 2011, we took part in many matches. For example, on October 16, about 20 members of our club participated the Beijing Marathon, and all of them completed the match. Other matches included Nike 10 Km, Tsinghua Long Distance Running Festival, and so on. In 2012, we will attend more matches and activities. Welcome to join Marathon Club and have a good time with us!
