高原马拉松再启程

### English Translation Title: The Plateau Marathon Sets Off Again

News Summary: On July 25 the race organizers announced that the 2026 “Beautiful Qinghai Plateau Marathon” will take place on September 6 in Xining, Qinghai Province. This year will feature both a full marathon and a half‑marathon, with a target field of about 15,000 runners. Registration is now open and will close on August 5; if more people sign up than there are spots, a lottery will be used to decide who gets to run.

Since the inaugural race in 2025, the event has attracted runners from China and abroad with its high‑altitude challenge and beautiful scenery. The first course wound through Xining’s key landmarks and natural sights, and participants praised the medical care and volunteer support on the plateau. Building on that experience, the 2026 edition will further improve services, highlight the region’s ecology and ethnic culture, and continue to promote the “Beautiful Qinghai” brand.

Reflection and Insight: A high‑altitude marathon tests both physical strength and willpower, and it also offers a picture of mutual help and respect among people and between people and nature. As we prepare and take part, we must train our bodies, stay safe, and look out for one another, allowing the race to become an event cared for by the city, the community, and volunteers.

A traditional saying about “running” reminds us that we need direction, self‑control, and perseverance—setting goals for ourselves while caring for those around us. Bring this determination and humility into everyday life and walk each step well.
