Running Clubs
NuclearKitty: The club, China’s first all-female running club, was founded at the beginning of this year. Their name shows they are normally like cute kittens, but become “nuclear powered” when running. This club has high expectations of its members. They hold practice every week and often participate in group runs and slow long-distance training. Dedicated members participate in competitions throughout the country.

This club does not have any requirements and accepts all participants, from those trying to improve their health to those training for marathons.
