The 9th Zheng-Kai marathon, nine-year-old Boer

Abstract

Nine years passed quickly. Boer's bond with the Zheng-Kai International Marathon — described as an event linking two ancient capitals — grew naturally: in its early years the company's founder travelled between Zhengzhou, Jiaozuo, Jiyuan, Luoyang and Qinyang in Henan, and the race developed over nine years alongside Boer.

On the morning of 29 March 2015, starting at 8:30 a.m., about 49,000 runners took part under the theme 'Run strong'. The article frames the 9th Zheng-Kai as a ninth-birthday tribute to Boer — running and growing together — and closes with two haiku-style verses.
