Anyone interested in doing an informal half marathon through the city one saturday morning?
No registration cost. Meet for donuts afterwards?

The more the merrier.

I take !

a few have us have been talking marathon... but i guess a half would cut it :P any ideas for the route?

i am thinking that a route along the canal will prevent much cross-traffic

Sounds tempting but I'm quite out of practice, haven't done that distance in nearly a year. When are you thinking of doing it? Maybe consider me for the next one so I have time to train!

By the way, does anyone know of a decent gym in Kunming?

or multiple laps at greenlake. That would be MULTIPLE ;-)

greenlake is 1.9m of diameter, need to run 10.5 times around it.

Laps sounds more manageable! Let me know when you're thinking of going :-)

it's been a long time since i bothered with Green Lake laps, as it became a lot of mafan to get around after they planted all the spindly trees. i remember it being more like 1.6km in perimeter, but either way, running a half there sounds daft.

@gordonsanders
do you mean along the panlongjiang? this sounds like it might fly, but we'd need to choose carefully to find a suitable section (and probably have to lap on that too). time of day is also relevant.

Sorry, I meant perimeter of course. Google map and my GPS watch both say 1.9.

Any place outside Kunming urban ?
