Now, in most places, running is usually something you do to keep fit. However, right now in China, it appears to be serving another purpose. For many, it's not only a sport, but also a lifestyle choice to enjoy their exercise with a twist.

Night run gains popularity in China

In Guangzhou, the annual night-run got underway which gave hundreds a chance to express themselves in many different varieties while shedding a few pounds.

It was a night that saw plenty of dancing, music and, of course, running as the participants gathered at the Haixinsha Asian Games Park. The sport is now more popular than ever in the country with the number of racers increasing.

As such, organisers have been able to branch out and make races include different aspects such as colour and fashion. This adds a new twist for those who love to run, turning a usually fierce competition into a party.
