As spring tides surge and all things thrive under China’s "Healthy China" initiative and the rising wave of national fitness, the 2025 Quanzhou Qingyuan Mountain Cross-Country Race kicked off in the nurturing embrace of spring rain! As the official sponsor, Torch Electron fueled this grand event—where athleticism meets cultural heritage—with unwavering passion. From urban tracks to rugged mountain trails, nearly 2,300 runners worldwide braved the elements, ready to embark on a "dialogue across time and space." As Quanzhou’s first high-caliber cross-country race hosted in a 5A-level scenic area, the International Trail Running Association (ITRA)-certified course posed even greater challenges amid mist and rain. The three race categories—55km, 30km, and 8km—woven into cultural threads, blended modern sports with the legacy of "Discovering Song-Yuan China through Quanzhou." Pre-race festivities featured intangible cultural heritage performances, including Shaolin martial arts and the spirited Pai Xiong Dance. Despite plunging temperatures and drizzle veiling the peaks, the race gained poetic charm as runners traversed the "First Mountain of Minhai Penglai," a millennium-old landscape. Their dynamic figures carved flowing silhouettes through Qingyuan Mountain’s emerald expanse. From the weathered Lao Jun Rock to the Zen bells of Shaolin Temple and the ancient cliff inscriptions, each footstep echoed a resonance between national fitness and cultural preservation—and a testament to runners’ inner journeys. Sports as a Vessel, Culture as the Voyage From precision in electronic components to fervor for sports and culture, Torch Electron upholds a long-term philosophy. Just as meticulous manufacturing demands millimeter-perfect craftsmanship, cultural heritage requires generational stewardship. Through the power of running, we inject vigor into the "Healthy China" vision, ensuring history’s pulse forever beats with vitality!
