On March 1st, the 42nd anniversary celebration of Zishan Group's entrepreneurship and the 10th anniversary celebration of Zishan Running Team were held grandly in Zishan Industrial Park. Members and guests from various industries gathered together to witness this glorious moment.
At the celebration symposium, Yang Jubin, the executive leader of Zishan Running Team, delivered the opening speech first. He reviewed the 42 year entrepreneurial journey of Zishan and the transformation of the running team from a small group of people to a vibrant community of runners from various industries over the past decade. He pointed out that the Zishan Running Team has become one of the most influential and cohesive running teams in the local area, winning 40 championships, 29 runners up, and 21 bronze medals within one year in 2025, cultivating 1 international athlete, 6 national first-class athletes, and 14 national second-class athletes. These achievements are a chapter jointly written by all running enthusiasts.
Speech by Hongshui River, President of Zishan Group and leader of the running team. He said that running and entrepreneurship are essentially interconnected, both of which are self-cultivation practices that require a "no excuses, give it your all" effort. He thanks all the runners for their trust and companionship over the past decade, and pays tribute to each partner's professional dedication in their respective positions and their hard work on the track. He released a set of impressive data: over the past decade, members of the Purple Mountain Running Team have won 186 championships, 144 runner up titles, and 72 third place titles. You measured the journey with your footsteps, watered the glory with your sweat, and won a heavy and warm 'gold medal' for Zishan. You are the most vibrant and dazzling business card of Zishan
Hongshui River finally expressed three layers of gratitude to all runners - thank you for your trust and companionship, pay tribute to the hard work of every partner in the workplace and track, and look forward to Zishan Running Team running for 20 or 30 years, becoming the most enduring, warm, and powerful running community in this city.
Li Zhengyue, the representative of the running team, took the stage to share his growth story in the Purple Mountain running team. As an ordinary runner, he started as a novice runner and, with the company and encouragement of his running team, gradually broke through himself and achieved his personal best score (PB). His story resonated strongly with the on-site runners - here, whether you are an elite athlete or an amateur enthusiast, you can find your own running rhythm.
The 10th anniversary celebration held an award ceremony, presenting nine major awards including Team Peak Award, PB Breakthrough Award, Off road Elite Award, Bole Award, 10th Anniversary Excellent Runner Award, 10th Anniversary Contribution Award, International Athlete Award, Contribution Award, Special Contribution Award, etc., to recognize individuals and teams who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the running team.
Ten years of running together with one heart, gathering the mighty force of progress. As the president of Hongshui River said, "The road ahead is long and blocked, but the journey is coming. Let us continue to run together - not to surpass others, but to live up to ourselves, meet each other, and stand shoulder to shoulder with each other on this road
The door of Zishan Running Team will always be open to all those who love running and pursue beauty. Looking forward to the next decade, we will continue to measure the earth with our footsteps and write legends with sweat!
