Speaking of running, most students say that it is boring just going around and around in the playground. How about running in a different way? The Spartan Race and the marathon are two exciting choices.

The Spartan Race

It is named after the Spartans from old Greece. The Spartans were great soldiers. Their army was very strong about 2，700 years ago. The Spartans were very brave. The race tried to copy the Spartans' life. So it's not about running. It's more like a race for life.

Marathon

It's a 42-kilometre run, usually across the city. It may seem like a wild idea，but more and more Chinese are doing it. According to a 2015 Nielson research report，about one third of China's marathon runners are from Beijing and Shanghai. People there have a busy life，so they worry more about their health.
