Passionate international runners participating in the 2025 Shanghai Half Marathon, which concluded on Sunday, gave thumbs-up to the vibe of the race that featured diversity and inclusion.

Themed "One Step Further," this year's running extravaganza attracted 15,000 participants to compete on the scenic track alongside the city's Huangpu River, which passes some city landmarks, such as the Oriental Pearl Towel, Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, and the New Bund Leisure Park.
