BEIJING, January 20 (Xinhua) — The 4th International Jingbo Lake Ice Run was held in Mudanjiang City, Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, on Sunday, attracting more than 2,000 runners from China and Russia, Zhongguo Xinwenshe News Agency reported on Monday.
The International Mass Ice Race was jointly organized by the Heilongjiang Provincial Sports Administration and the Mudanjiang City People's Government.
The runners, who included both amateurs and professionals, ran recklessly across the slippery surface of the lake in temperatures of around minus 30 degrees Celsius.
The competition was held in three disciplines: a 20.26 km run for men, a 20.26 km run for women, and a 5 km fun run.
Chen Yan from Mudanjiang City and Wu Guoying from Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China, won gold medals in the men's and women's events, respectively.
As an important part of the first Heilongjiang Winter Sports Super League, the successful holding of the Jingbo Lake Ice Run not only expanded the opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts, but also effectively promoted the deep integration of "ice and snow sports tourism." -0-
