jingchu.com (hubei daily online) (reporter xiao hong)"ready, go!" as the command sounded, the children jumped out from the starting line and embarked on a night run under the stars. this is the "starlight night run" activity recently launched by rongqiaocheng community in linjiang community, yangyuan street, wuchang district, which aims to promote the physical and mental health of residents in the area through collective exercise.
whenever the sun sets, the children in rongqiaocheng community put on their sports equipment with great anticipation and become a member of the "starlight night run group". starting from the tieji road section of wuchang river beach, they go all the way to the erqi bridge section and then turn back. the entire journey of nearly 3 kilometers is not only a physical challenge for the children, but also a spiritual baptism. some compete in speed and strive for the first place; some encourage each other and persevere to the end. from the excitement before the start, to the panting during the run, to the pride after the completion, every step records their growth and laughter.

"the first night run was on july 10th. more than 30 children came that night. originally, we were looking for a 'partner' for physical exercise, but it turned into a collective night run in the community." the organizer of the night run, li lili, is a member of the linjiang community and a member of the rongqiaocheng community co-governance group. li lili said that he had been running for more than a month without realizing it. the children who participated in the run ranged from kindergarten to the second grade of junior high school, and more and more parents also participated. at present, the night run team has more than 50 people at most, with 600 participants, enriching the daily life of residents in the area.

every afternoon, li lili would "register in a chain" in the wechat group and gather at the riverside at around 19:00. as the running group grew larger, many parents spontaneously divided the work. some were responsible for supervising safety, some were responsible for watching over the children so that they would not fall behind, some were responsible for taking photos and videos, and some were responsible for guiding the stretching and relaxation after running... "night running activities can not only keep children away from electronic devices, but also allow them to enjoy the fun of sports." parents expressed their support for this activity.
dong beiling, head of linjiang community, said that the "starlight night run" activity has gradually developed into an important platform to promote the healthy growth of young people in the area. it has not only become a bridge for communication between parents and children, but also made the interaction between neighbors closer and more frequent. through such activities, the participation of residents in co-construction, sharing and co-governance has been strengthened, the cohesion and centripetal force of the community have been enhanced, and a positive, healthy and vibrant community image has been formed.
