2026 The Year of the Horse

On a chilly February 1st morning in 2026, with temperatures at a brisk 1°C, the FitFam community gathered at Peoples Park Music Fountain. A 100+of us braved the cold, our spirits warm and high, ready to celebrate the Chinese New Year Horse Run.

In honor of the 2026 Zodiac, organizers Adam and the team designed a creative 15km city route that, on the map, looked like a galloping horse. This unique course, starting at 8am promised a festive and symbolic journey through the normally buzzing city.

After putting the ‘warm’ in warmup by the People’s Square fountain, we split into 6 different pace groups led by our dedicated volunteer leaders. A run catering for all levels of speed and experience, the fastest runners took off first, followed by the remaining groups, weaving through the Shanghai streets and finishing 16km at about 10am.

This was more than just a run; it was a celebration a fantastic way to commemorate a new year. The air was filled with laughter, shouts of “Jiayou!” and the sound of high-fives at every turn. In the year of the Horse, we move forward with freedom and confidence.

A huge thank you to the 17 FitFam volunteer leaders who guided each pace group, keeping spirits high and everyone safe. We’re also so grateful to our sponsors, City Cowboys and Clean Force Nutrition, for the fantastic prizes, and to the volunteer photographers who captured every joyful stride.

The event was a perfect blend of fitness and celebration, proving once again that the FitFam spirit, much like the steadfast horse, is all about community, resilience, and joyful movement.

We Sweat. We Connect.
