In the early morning of March 26, Tsinghua University President Qiu Yong joined over 400 faculty and students from Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School as well as alumni in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to launch a running event in Shenzhen in celebration of Tsinghua’s 110th Anniversary.
Runners were divided into 11 formations, named after periods of history of the Communist Party of China. Each formation completed 10km for a total of 110km as a gift for Tsinghua’s 110th Anniversary. The 30-day running activity “Run into 110” was also launched at the event. Alumni were encouraged to participate in it and carry forward Tsinghua’s sports spirit.
President Qiu said that there are 30 days left before Tsinghua’s 110th Anniversary -- days in which all Tsinghua people should "Strive for Excellence; Innovate for the Future”. Sports are a common passion at Tsinghua. They not only show the vigor and vitality of the Tsinghua community, but also reflect its determination and unity.
