Wearing a T-shirt printed with "Beijing 2022" as a support for Beijing's bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics, Chen ran through nine provinces across the country in 100 days.

Chen's plan for an extreme run was announced at a news conference in Beijing in March. He started at Guangzhou on April 2 and finished on Friday in Beijing. The journey traversed provinces and municipalities, including Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei and Tianjin.
