Suzhou Oushida Running Team safely completed the Yangcheng Lake Half Marathon, measuring the new journey of health with their footsteps!

    On the morning of March 16, 2025, the spring rain was hazy by the Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou. With the sound of the starting gun, Yu Wenmao, chairman of Suzhou Oushida Hot Melt Adhesive Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., and more than ten employees of the “Oushida Running Group” dressed in sportswear, rushed across the starting line facing the rising sun, and started the journey of the 2025 Suzhou Yangcheng Lake Half Marathon. This 21-kilometer marathon and 4-kilometer fun and healthy run are not only a challenge to personal physical fitness, but also a vivid practice of the company’s response to the national call for “Weight Management Year”.

Healthy culture empowers team building

    Under the leadership of the chairman, Oushida has gradually implemented the “Health Incentive Plan” since 2023: a fitness area is specially set up in the company with supporting fitness equipment, every Saturday is set as “Sports Day”, and a corresponding reward mechanism is set up according to the weekly exercise consumption data. Among the employees participating in this competition, there are workshop directors with an average daily step count of more than 20,000 , and sales engineers who have successfully lost 10 kilograms. “I always felt that I had no time to exercise because of my busy work, but now I find that exercise has improved my work efficiency.” The workshop director sighed after finishing the race. Data shows that since the implementation of the health incentive plan, the abnormal rate of physical examinations of corporate employees has decreased, and the satisfaction of team collaboration has also increased.

    Corporate responsibility in the national fitness wave Oushida integrates sportsmanship into the core of corporate culture. The chairman said: “We not only want to manufacture high-quality hot melt adhesive machines, but also forge a positive and healthy team! Let persistence in exercise also become a part of Oushida’s corporate culture.” The spring breeze blows across the ripples of Yangcheng Lake on the medals of the finishers. The track drawn by the sweat of the Oushida team is the epitome of the implementation of the Healthy China strategy by tens of millions of Chinese companies. When the spirit of marathon meets the sentiment of serving the country through industry, this 21-kilometer run has become a new footnote to the high-quality development of enterprises.
