HeyRunning Beijing has kept local runners active with its ongoing weekly sessions even after the series of major events held earlier in 2026. The club posts calendars on WeChat and Strava that allow participants to join regular runs in Chaoyang District.

Events That Drew Large Fields Earlier This Year

The 2026 Beijing Half Marathon took place on April 12 with 22,000 participants starting at Tian'anmen Square and finishing at Olympic Park. Two more races followed on April 19 when the 2026 BOB Beijing MC Marathon and the 2026 Beijing E-Town Half-Marathon, including a Humanoid Robot Half-Marathon, were held. On May 17 the 2026 Beijing Daxing Half Marathon and the 10th Huahui Beijing Yuepao Daxing Half Marathon took place in Daxing District.

Club Activity Provides Continuity

While those one-day events attracted thousands of entrants, HeyRunning Beijing offers a different format by holding weekly sessions. Runners in Chaoyang District can check the club's posted calendars on WeChat and Strava to find meeting times and routes that fit their schedules. This approach supports participants who want regular training rather than single-race days.

Registration and Community Options

The CAA 10KM Elite Series opened registration in 2026 for its event in Haidian District, giving elite runners another option. At the same time the weekly HeyRunning Beijing sessions continue to serve a broader group of regular participants who meet in Chaoyang District. The combination of occasional elite races and steady club runs gives Beijing runners multiple ways to stay involved.

Those interested in joining can follow the calendars posted by HeyRunning Beijing on WeChat and Strava to locate upcoming weekly sessions in Chaoyang District. The same platforms also list details for anyone looking to connect with other local runners after the spring events have concluded.
