Also a passionate runner himself, Wang Guohang thrives on the challenges and pressures that running brings. Despite his busy schedule, he maintains a routine of running at least four days a week. As the CEO of a rapidly growing internet company, Wang leads by example through consistent running and fitness. He stated, “Running and entrepreneurship are both about becoming the best version of yourself. Lailaihui enables young people to explore the world, and running a marathon is not only a personal challenge but also a way to build a strong and healthy body.”
The love for marathon running extends far beyond enthusiasts like Chen Penbin and Wang Guohang—many young people view marathon running as one of life’s essential challenges. As the outbound travel brand favored most by young people, Lailaihui has launched high-value “marathon-themed travel packages” to help more running enthusiasts realize their marathon dreams. Wang Guohang and his team have led groups to events such as the Seoul International Marathon and the Jeju International Tourism Festival Marathon, achieving excellent results. This August, they will lead dozens of Lailaihui users to compete in the Angkor Wat Marathon in Cambodia.
“I will personally support Chen Penbin’s event and hope we can inspire more people to embrace the joy of running. At the same time, to build a vibrant and passionate team and create a youthful brand, the Lailaihui team must maintain a young mindset and physical condition, constantly challenging ourselves and rediscovering who we are. In the future, I will continue to pursue my passion for running and lead the Lailaihui running group to marathons around the world—running across the globe to explore new places.”
