LEAP Activity: “Run Towards a Healthier You – Healthy Run” Brings the Community Together
On 12 February 2026, the Learning Enhancement and Aspiration Pathways (LEAP) programme, under the School of Graduate Studies, successfully held the “Run Towards a Healthier You – Healthy Run” for Term 2. Over 20 students and staff from different programmes/units gathered at Lingnan University’s Pan Sutong Sports Ground for a revitalising Healthy Run.
The event featured professional coaching sessions designed to help participants improve their running form, boost performance, and raise awareness of sports injury prevention. Several professors joined the students on the track, running alongside them to show their care and support, while fully embracing the vibrant and uplifting moments together — a true reflection of Lingnan’s supportive and energetic community spirit.
Participating postgraduate students shared that the event not only highlighted the importance of physical fitness but also provided an opportunity to forge new friendships with those who have similar interests, strengthen bonds within the Lingnan family, and fill the campus with an even more positive and joyful atmosphere.
Tang Qiqian, a student in the Master of Liberal Sciences programme, was impressed and shared, “Healthy Run was my first university activity. I’ve always enjoyed exercising, but it was wonderful to do so alongside fellow students and professors. It felt warm and enjoyable, with a strong sense of community. The event also helped me appreciate the importance of proper warm-up and stretching. I hope there will be more opportunities for similar activities in the future.”
This initiative offered participants a valuable opportunity to engage in regular exercise, adopt healthier lifestyles, and strengthen the bonds within the Lingnan community. It exemplified LEAP’s dedication to fostering well-being, cultural awareness, and a sense of belonging among its diverse student body.
A heartfelt thank you to every participant for making the event such a success and so warm!
