In 2013, Tecnica collaborated with ISPO BEIJING, Actionfox, and MICO to sponsor the Tecnica Trail Running Team (TTT). As part of its efforts to promote trail running in China, Tecnica has organized a series of group runs this year. The first event in the series—a group run starting from the Xiangshan Post Office on March 30—will serve as the inaugural mountain run training session. All TTT members will participate.
Considering the varying fitness levels of runners, the first group run will cover an 18km mountain route. The meeting point is the Xiangshan Post Office, with the course passing through Guajia Tower, New Wangjing, Old Wangjing, and ending at the Botanical Garden, totaling 18km. The primary goal of this run is to help participants prepare for the Dalian 100 and TNF100 races. All running enthusiasts are welcome to join. Participants may also have the chance to win mystery prizes sponsored by ISPO BEIJING, Actionfox, and MICO.
