At 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 22, the 2023 Suzhou Taihu Marathon officially kicked off with the starting gun fired. 23,000 runners from 19 countries and regions around the world measured Suzhou High-tech Zone with their footsteps and felt the scenery of the city through running. A team of 14 mini-marathon runners composed of employees from TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd. put on their running gear and collectively participated in this Taihu Marathon. The touch of "TFC blue" became a beautiful scenery on the racecourse!

Running is both a belief and a source of strength. Led by EV from the R&D department, the TFC running team was composed of members from the R&D department, the finance department, the procurement department, the automation department, the project application department, and the precision optics department. Under the guidance of the blue flag with the words "Adhere to Integrity and Innovate, Ride the Wind and Waves", the team members ran vigorously. They enjoyed the pleasure of sports while admiring the scenery along the way and made all-out efforts for the final sprint. Eventually, all team members successfully reached the finish line of the 5KM fun run. Let running become the most beautiful color in autumn!

"The cool weather, the warm sunshine, the comfortable environment, and the beautiful scenery make running all the way a kind of enjoyment," said a participating team member.

Zona from the finance department frankly said that this was her first time participating in such an event. She was a bit nervous when signing up and was afraid that she couldn't persevere. But when she actually arrived at the event site, she found that this event was different from a competitive sports event. Whether it was the overall planning of the event or the mutual encouragement among the members during the participation process, the overall feeling was still very relaxed, warm, and comfortable. "My biggest gain is that I need to participate in more similar activities in my spare time. It can not only keep me fit but also enrich my life and provide a continuous source of motivation for my work," Zona said with emotion.

As a simple and effective form of exercise, running is regarded as a healthy and comprehensive method of physical exercise. Running can not only improve physical health but also relieve stress, enhance mental health, and increase physical fitness.

A friendly reminder: Running in autumn has many benefits. However, as the weather gets cooler and there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, special attention should be paid to preventing colds. When we finish running, if we stop immediately and walk slowly, our whole body is still hot and sweating. If we are exposed to the wind for a long time, it is very easy to catch a cold. So after running, instead of stopping immediately, we should slow down and mainly jog to keep our body warm, then run back to our residence and rest and stretch.
