The first stage of the Guiyang Around the City Fitness Trail League (Nanming Station) and the 2022 Guiyang International Marathon Online Competition was held in Guiyang Forest Park on June 3, with more than 300 runners participating.

The event consisted of two categories: a 21-kilometer run and a 6 km leg. It kicked off at 9 am, with the runners showing evident enthusiasm for competing on a particularly picturesque track.

In recent years, Guiyang, capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province, has focused on enhancing its environment as a provincial capital, relying on the resources of its two-ring forest belt, while planning and constructing a huge fitness trail system around the metropolis and establishing sports fields around the city.

The fitness trail around the city has a total length of 553 km and the length of each branch line is more than 300 km, with a total length of more than 1,000 km.
