Today, the 2117 Lanzhou International Marathon started at the mother's river as scheduled. Domestic gold medal competition for five consecutive years, upgraded to IAAF "silver standard competition" in 2116; Six years ago, 8,111 people wore running shoes, and this year, more than 41,111 people "squeezed" the registration channel for 5 hours. As the only marathon running around the Yellow River and the highest marathon in the country, the level and grade of Lanzhou Marathon have been continuously improved in the past six years, and the characteristics of professional, enthusiastic, amorous feelings and public welfare events have been widely recognized by all walks of life.
In Jincheng Lanzhou in June, there is a gentle breeze on both sides of the Yellow River, and the flowers are red and green; The urban marathon track is maintained, wide and flat; Under the blue sky and white clouds, millions of Lanzhou people are hospitable. With the efforts of the people of the whole city, the three major rectifications of "traffic order, urban and rural environment and back streets and alleys" have achieved remarkable results, which have promoted the standardization, standardization and long-term management of the city. Today's "Lanzhou Blue" has been repaired both inside and outside, and the transformed western landscape city has opened its arms, waiting for more than 41,111 runners to feel her new look.
The ever-increasing city name card
In July, 2111, the first Lanzhou International Marathon entered the sight of Jincheng people, from the initial 18,751 contestants to 32,685 the following year, until more than 41,111 people participated. With the constant attention from all walks of life, the Lanzhou International Marathon has become increasingly mature. At the same time, this event also took Lanzhou to the world and let the world know about Lanzhou.
today's glory is hard to remind people of the difficulties of that year. When the International Marathon was founded in Lanzhou in 2111, the national marathon was at a low tide, and only 22 marathon events were held throughout the year. The low participation rate and small social influence made the city marathon encounter a dilemma. What about holding a marathon in a city like Lanzhou?
in the first Lanzhou International Marathon, ***18751 runners participated, and in the same year, they were awarded as "Best Marathon Event" and "Marathon Gold Medal Event of China Athletics Association". In 2112, the number of participants reached more than 31,111, a full increase of more than 11,111 over the previous year. In 2113, 43,111 runners ran on both sides of the mother river. The triumphant 2114 Lanzhou International Marathon was awarded as "Gold Medal Event"+"Bronze Medal Event" by China IAAF.
The p>2115 Lanzhou International Marathon attracted 41,129 outstanding marathon runners and marathon enthusiasts from 21 countries and regions, including Ethiopia, the United States and Kenya. Compared with the first year marathon, the number of participants only doubled.
The registration for the p>2116 Lanzhou International Marathon officially started on April 11, and it took only 36 hours to complete the registration for all events, setting a record for the fastest registration in the history of "Lanma".
"The reason why Lanzhou International Marathon stands out in similar events has a lot to do with the whole people's participation and dedication in Lanzhou, which is a very virtuous cycle." Zhang Lei, deputy director of Lanzhou Sports Bureau, said, "In addition, the hundred-mile Yellow River amorous feelings line that runs along the mother river and runs through the whole process, and the enthusiastic track where people refuel almost without interruption have become the distinctive features of Lanzhou Marathon. At the same time, the simple folk customs of the western cities, the magnificent Yellow River landscape, combined with professional competition organization, constitute the unique temperature of Lanma. Many runners describe Lanma like this. On the China Marathon running map, Lanma belongs to the must-see punch point. "
This year, Lanma is seven years old. Looking at these seven years, the pace of "Lanma" is becoming more and more steady. Lanzhou International Marathon not only won the title of gold medal for five consecutive years, but also upgraded from the original international bronze standard event to the international silver standard event in 2117. In the TOP111 list of the most influential events in 2116 published by China Association of Athletics and People's Daily Online, Lanzhou International Marathon ranked fourth in terms of more than 41 latitude indicators in six aspects, such as public opinion, event level, project setting, bonus setting, participation and professionalism, with the characteristics of professionalism, enthusiasm, amorous feelings and public welfare, which made the marathon a resounding city card for Lanzhou.
Urban management with both internal and external training
"Day and night are the same, sparrows and crows are the same" and "No blue sky in summer, no sun in winter" have been the taunts of many people about Lanzhou's air pollution. The geographical location of two mountains and a river, the windless climate in winter and the economic layout dominated by heavy industry all make the environment of this city face the dilemma of "congenital deficiency". However, the control measures over the years have had little effect, which has also caused many people to be afraid of pollution control in Lanzhou. Pollution has once become a "negative business card" in Lanzhou, seriously restricting the development of Lanzhou.
What you give is what you get back. After years of comprehensive management, today's Lanzhou has increasingly become a famous western landscape city that is livable and suitable for traveling. At the 2115 Paris World Climate Change Conference, Lanzhou won the "Today's Change Progress Award", which made the world sit up and take notice.
if air pollution control is to refresh Lanzhou's external "face value", then the "three major rectifications" are to declare war on the inherent ills of urban development.
"It's dangerous to drive in Lanzhou. It's obviously a red light for pedestrians, but someone will break into the line." Taxi driver Master Liu said frankly.
Ms. Li, who lives in Mars Street, Qilihe District, Lanzhou City, is troubled every morning because her children are late for school, because there are always cars parked at will in the lane of her residential area.
"Originally, this square was relatively small. Look, the trash cans in that corner are all full, and the garbage has taken up all the space." Aunt Liu and her square dancers "spit out" the square garbage in the community activity center. "It was originally exercise, and these garbage odors were sucked into our bodies, which is definitely unhealthy!"
The new Lanzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government actively responded to the concerns of the society and the needs and expectations of the people for the problems that the people in these cities are eager to solve. On October 1, 2117, the "three major rectification actions" of traffic order, urban and rural environment and back streets and alleys in Lanzhou for half a year kicked off in the expectation of the people.
At the end of p>2116, the 13th Party Congress and the Municipal "Two Sessions" of Lanzhou clearly put forward that "we should resolutely fight the tough battle against congestion just like winning the tough battle against pollution". To this end, the Lanzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have successively convened a number of outstanding domestic design units and relevant departments to listen to opinions and suggestions, and formed a "1+9" plan to control traffic congestion.
At the same time, Lanzhou City used all police actions to drive the whole city and the whole people to move, and took extraordinary measures to reinforce the grass-roots units and various police types to reinforce the traffic police, and transferred 855 people from other police types to support the traffic police. During the renovation period, the city invested more than 2,711 police officers, and set up 33 renovation responsibility areas and 129 strict duty posts in the main city, with full coverage and zero tolerance for traffic violations. In just three months, the rectification campaign has investigated and discouraged 813,111 traffic violations, temporarily detained more than 1,512 motor vehicles, more than 1,127 non-motor vehicles, 976 certificates and 498 people in administrative detention.
at the same time, in order to vigorously improve the rural health environment, in 2117, Lanzhou first included rural cleaning funds into the financial budget, with the municipal budget of RMB 12.56 million, and the financial support of all districts and counties was more than RMB 11. According to the standard of RMB 11 per person per year for the agricultural population in the city, it was specially used for rural environmental sanitation and cleaning.
in addition, according to the requirement of "one street and one file", Lanzhou city has carried out a comprehensive survey of the back streets and alleys in the city, established 927 files for the renovation of back streets and alleys, and carried out preliminary rectification, which has solved some problems such as bumpy roads, incomplete street lamps and motor vehicles occupying roads and parking.
Persistent pollution control and resolute "three major rectifications" have promoted the standardization, standardization and long-term effect of urban management, and made Lanzhou's development and change "both internal and external", which made people see a more and more beautiful Jincheng taking the marathon as an opportunity.
the "Lanma" effect with wide influence
On March 22nd, 2117, at 11: 11 a.m., the registration for the 7th Lanzhou Marathon began, and at 3: 11 p.m., the on-site registration points in all counties and districts were full. Among them, 24,111 "mini" marathon runners, mainly Lanzhou locals, became the highlight of the event. Zhang Lei, deputy director of Lanzhou Sports Bureau, said that such high participation is the best "public opinion report" for Lanzhou Marathon to promote national fitness.
Nowadays, there are countless sports organizations established because of marathon. The "Lanma Running Group" is one of them. On July 5th, 2115, the running group was formally established. In addition to participating in the marathon, the running group will also make regular runs in Lanzhou Marathon Park every Sunday, and each district will make regular runs at least once a week. Driven by this, the number of running groups has rapidly increased from the initial dozens to 1,771, and eight sub-groups have been established.
Li Junping, deputy head of Lanzhou Running Group, said, "Lanma has changed many people's exercise habits, and more and more people are participating in the national fitness campaign. In recent years, both folk sports fitness programs and sports population are increasing year by year. In addition to making more and more people fall in love with running, Lanma has also driven a large number of people to choose their favorite national fitness activities, such as aerobics and Tai Ji Chuan. "
In addition, Lanzhou actively seeks to develop characteristic sports in many aspects, and introduces and implements a number of sports industry projects, especially supporting the development of fitness running, walking, cycling, water sports, mountain climbing, shooting and archery, and other projects that the masses like and have room for development. While sports has become a fashion, the "fitness economy" is also popular year by year.
The data shows that only during the 2116 Lanzhou International Marathon Sporting Goods Expo, there were 11 sports industry investment cooperation projects, with a total investment of 3.64 billion yuan. In addition, the continuous success of Lanzhou International Marathon has also become a catalyst for the development of cultural tourism industry. More foreign guests come to Lanzhou to enjoy the charm of "Yellow River Capital, Jincheng Lanzhou".
After six years in Lanma, the model of "sports+cultural tourism" has been well verified in Lanma: during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, the added value of cultural industry in Lanzhou increased by 26.18% annually; The number of tourists in Lanzhou has increased fourfold, and the airport throughput has broken through from 3.6 million to 11 million. The number of catering passengers doubled, and it was hard to find a hotel room. The total tourism revenue rose from 6.35 billion yuan to 29.193 billion yuan. These data are enough to see the pulling effect of a high-quality marathon brand event on urban economic development.
according to the Lanzhou national fitness implementation plan (2116- 2121) issued by the Lanzhou municipal government this year, by 2121, Lanzhou will strive to realize that the number of people who take part in 1 or more physical exercises every week will reach 2 million, the number of national fitness stations will reach 1,111, and the per capita sports area will reach 1.8 square meters, and more than 211 national fitness events and activities will be held every year.
To this end, Lanzhou is further transforming and upgrading the customs line of the Yellow River, making great efforts to build a scenic sports corridor around the Mother River, and implementing projects to benefit the people, such as sports center, marathon park, sports culture square, riverside fitness trail and bicycle lane, which have improved the urban infrastructure and optimized the comprehensive functions of the city, so that people can get a sense of touch, enhance their happiness, and let the sports spirit be deeply integrated into the blood of urban development, making Lanzhou more harmonious, inclusive and more.
