“Drink Coconut Juice • Run Together” — The Coconut Juice Running Group kicks off its National Unity Run with passion on National Day.

As the five-star national flag quietly waves in streets and alleys, and the joy of National Day grows ever more palpable in the air, a grand running event spanning 14 provinces and 56 cities is making a stunning debut, fueled by fervent passion. On September 27, the “Mountains and Rivers Run Together, Coconut Number Teams Celebrate National Day” nationwide relay race kicked off with great enthusiasm, as 126 running groups and over 12,000 runners simultaneously set out, igniting a wave of全民running across Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui, Shanghai, and other regions. With every step, runners have measured the vastness of their homeland, and with sweat and zeal, they have paid tribute to the motherland on this momentous occasion.

On the racecourse bathed in the morning light, runners sprinted with boundless enthusiasm. At Tianchang, Anhui, the lead runner of the “Chasing the Wind” running group carried a large green banner emblazoned with the “Coconut” logo; the flag fluttered crisply in the breeze, while the steady cadence of footsteps behind him echoed like drumbeats. Meanwhile, on the track at Tianlu Lake Park in Taizhou, Jiangsu, shimmering water mirrored the golden hues of autumn, and members of a running team clad in custom‑made Coconut‑branded T-shirts weaved through the scene like flowing ribbons, adding a lively touch to the picturesque autumn landscape—drawing nearby spectators to raise their phones and capture this vibrant, momentous occasion. In Haining, Zhejiang, among the family‑friendly runners of the Chang’an Running Group, children’s laughter mingled with resounding cheers, their tiny feet following closely in their parents’ wake, weaving together familial warmth and patriotic spirit along the way… Across racecourses in cities far and wide, Coconut’s striking green and black custom T‑shirts, alongside its billowing green banners, set off against the splendor of autumn across China, creating one of the season’s most moving scenes.

As the event’s exclusive sponsor, Yehao has long been preparing thoughtful refreshments for runners—Yehao 100% coconut water, Yehao raw coconut milk tea, and Sousa freshly squeezed coconut juice—neatly arranged at rest stops across the course, ready to replenish their energy. Whenever a runner arrives at a rest area and grabs a bottle of Yehao 100% coconut water, the refreshing, sweet flavor instantly banishes fatigue. “After running five kilometers, taking a sip of Yehao 100% coconut water makes me feel like my lost electrolytes have been instantly restored!” Mr. Zou, from the Shangrao Running Group in Jiangxi, said with a smile as he wiped the sweat from his brow, his words brimming with praise for Yehao.

During the break, YEE MARK 100% coconut water, thoughtfully accompanying runners. This bottle of naturally electrolyte‑rich water, grown right on the tree, fuels your health with nature’s energy, giving every bit of perseverance even more confidence.

“This is the largest and most meaningful running event I’ve ever participated in,” said the head of a running group from Baoshan, Shanghai, visibly moved. “Although we’re spread across racecourses in different cities, the thought that right now tens of thousands of fellow runners are pounding the pavement alongside us—this sense of connection that transcends space is truly awe‑inspiring!”
