On June 3, 2015, the evening running activity co-organized by School of International Studies and Lingnan (University) College was held on Zhuhai Campus of Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU). Faculty and students from 13 schools and departments participated in the event.  At the Sports Playground, Mr. Wu Xiangming, Deputy Director of Zhuhai Culture Sports and Tourism Bureau, gave some tips on the dos and don’ts of evening running. Prof. Yan Guangmei, Vice President of SYSU, led the warming-up exercises and announced the start of the event. The participants dashed out of the Sports Playground, ran along the Library, Teaching Building, Sunyue Lake, and returned to the starting point to get the distinctive “seal of the evening running”.
SYSU attendees of the event also included Mr. Qi Xiaoping, Director of Student Affairs Office, Mr. Huang Yi, Director of SYSU Youth Association, Dr. Xu Dongli, Secretary of Faculty of Foreign Languages and International Studies, and Dr. Wang Lixia, Deputy Director of Publicity Department.

Launched in March, the evening running activity is aimed at encouraging college students to “disconnect the internet, leave the dormitory and go to the playground”. More than 1,500 “running hand cards” have been issued.
