Walking is the zero-emission transportation method, also a good practice to keep fit during the busy daily life. Taking the walkathon as a challenge not only meet the environmental theme, but also a reminder to all to stay healthy and positive.

Planned and managed by students themselves, this event received great support from the school administration. There are three different challenges to choose from, 5km, 10km and 20km. Students ranging from elementary to senior high all joined. To some students, it is their first time to learn about walkathon but still much anticipated to the event. Some students are very perseverant to finish the challenge. Some are quite professional, taking only a little over 30 minutes finishing 20km. Although the temperature was getting higher and higher, everyone is sweating heavily, but no one quit the challenge. They all showed their great support by their wonderful performance.

徒步不仅是低碳出行的最佳方式之一,也是在忙碌的学习之余锻炼身体的好方法。用徒步运动来做公益,一方面传递了环保生活和公益慈善的理念,另一方面也是鼓励师生们用健康的体魄迎接学习和生活上的挑战。

此次活动由学生们自行策划组织,学校领导层给予了大力支持和协助。徒步活动设有5公里,10公里和20公里的挑战,从小学一年级到高中生都有学生参与。有些学生第一次听说Walkathon这样的公益理念但又充满期待;有些是参与为重的选手,从开始的快走散步到最后的咬牙坚持才走到终点;有些是强有力的竞赛型选手,仅半小时就完成了十公里的距离。夏日早晨的温度逐渐升高,大家都汗流浃背,但没有人轻言退出,用自己的实际行动表示对环保和公益的支持。
