Through regularly running, they show their youthfulness and vitality. At the end of April, they posted their running transcripts on the platform.

"Tongji Youth" has received hundreds of students’ running transcripts. Some students have posted good grades by running hundreds of kilometers each month. Meanwhile, some students sent their transcript to the platform and expressed their feelings about this event. Some said that although they usually wanted to run, they always lack an urge. Once this event started, they had a strong motivation to run every day and to improve their fitness. Some students said that they would keep running with Cool Running Bear in the future.

It is reported that, the event of "Tongji People Run Together" mainly uses the Wechat of "Tongji Youth" as the platform. It is technically supported by several APPs which are running positioning systems. In order to achieve the goal of nationwide physical fitness, the event encourages students to go running and rewards people who accomplish the task. It also encourages running fans to "gang up" and learn from each other’s good points in order to make common progress. It leads chubby boys and girls out of the dorms and away from the Internet to the playground.
