One of those gold medallists was former marathon runner Wang Liping who was on hand to lead the main group. Her participation in the mini-marathon and limo camping is hoped to inspire the locals to be active and peruse a more healthy lifestyle. This is the first time the Province has hosted the event which also included mountain bike racing and a spot of fishing.
