Soonest Express Co., Ltd. hosted The Strongest Citizen - Strongest Citizens 5K September Edition: Light Rain Fails to Dampen Spirits as Runners Praise the Event’s Vibrant Atmosphere.

Soonest Express Co., Ltd. join-handed with Sports Office, New Taipei City and Famous Sports Website, Soonnet, to provide free practice session and speed measurement for New Taipei citizens who are into marathon race.

As autumn arrived, the Strongest Citizens 5K, organized by FunNow, returned on September 9, with the Big Foot Running Club serving as the official pacing team. Registration proved increasingly popular, with runners eager to take on the track. The evening initially brought cool and comfortable conditions, but a torrential downpour struck just as the runners in Group A were approaching the finish. The heavy rain, however, did little to slow the runners down. Instead, it seemed to ignite their competitive spirit, sending the excitement level even higher. Some runners even crossed the finish line shouting with joy and raising their hands toward the sky in celebration of completing the race.

Runner Huang Rou-Yi, who represented the Big Foot Running Club as a pacer, said she was delighted to take on the role. For her, maintaining a 22-minute pace was neither too fast nor too slow, and she focused on keeping track of her split times each lap as consistently as possible. She also revealed that fellow members of the running club had shared pacing tips with her, which proved highly valuable during the race.

The next edition of the Strongest Citizens 5K is scheduled for October 21. Runners looking to experience a track race, use the event as a training session, and sharpen their skills alongside fellow runners are encouraged to sign up early and join the challenge.
