In late autumn,

the sky is clear and the air is crisp,

the mountains and forests are ablaze with autumn hues,

nature is calling,

leaping into the depths of the mountains,

what a pleasant and exhilarating experience it is.

KAN Running Team: Marching Forward Side by Side

On the morning of December 7th, the 2025 Suichang Tang Gong Ancient Trail Cross-Country Race kicked off with passion. Zhejiang KAN New Materials Co., Ltd. Running Team organized a large contingent of nearly 50 members to participate in the event, becoming a core force in the race. The striking KAN team, with its fluttering flag, showcased the vibrant vitality of the enterprise.

In the early morning, members of the KAN Running Team gathered at the venue bright and early, all in high spirits. The scene was bustling with activity; despite the chilly temperature that would normally call for down jackets, many athletes showed up in tank tops and shorts, leaving onlookers impressed by their outstanding physical condition.

With the core philosophy of "Treading the ancient trail to follow Tang Xianzu's footsteps, crossing green mountains to keep the appointment with nature", the race route connects Qingyun Ridge, Gaoguan Ridge and other places once visited by Tang Xianzu. The newly added Tangshan section was the seclusion of Guanxiu, a painter-monk of the late Tang Dynasty. This route can be called a "living corridor" condensing Suichang's history, allowing participants to experience the cultural charm spanning time and space during the race. To meet the needs of different groups, the race thoughtfully set up a 21km category this year: the 13.14km "Suixin Suiyuan Group" continued the classic route, enabling casual hikers to approach sports at a comfortable pace; the 21km "Qingyun Zhishang Group" was tailor-made for professional runners, with the new section bringing stronger challenges and a deeper cultural experience. The race attracted over 500 participants from across the country, including elite domestic cross-country runners and local renowned athletes, demonstrating strong appeal.

After a brief opening ceremony and pre-race warm-up, the starting gun fired at 8:35, and the race began. The athletes were full of passion, with agile figures and lightning speed. The runners from KAN Running Team waved the team flag all the way, brimming with energy. They encouraged, cheered and looked out for each other, fully enjoying the joy brought by sports. All participants persisted to the end and completed the race.

All hoped that Zhejiang KAN New Materials Co., Ltd. would organize and participate in more such activities in the future.
