Preview: Tai Chi Running comes to the Qingyuan Marathon Association

Abstract

This article previews a Tai Chi Running session hosted by the Qingyuan Marathon Association. Tai Chi Running is described as one of the world's three major running methods — an effortless, injury-free healthy running style that grew out of tai chi, became popular in the United States and has benefited runners around the world since 1999. It was created by Danny Dreyer, who integrated tai chi with running after his encounter with Chinese tai chi.

In June 2017, through Hudong Sports and with the support of various parties, Tai Chi Running returned to China; within three months it had spread to organisations including Tencent Building, the traffic-radio programme 'Outdoor Base Camp', ARUP, Huaqiang Fantawild, TCL Huizhou, Huizhou Aimin Tai Chi School, the Shenzhen Nutritionists Association and Overseas Chinese Town Real Estate. The session was scheduled for Friday, 8 September 2017, 19:00–20:30, at the Qingyuan Marathon Association.
