Leave it to the students to decide

A national winter sports campaign will start on Oct 26.

China's top education and sports authorities, along with the leading national youth organization, have called on all students above the fourth grade to participate in long-distance running every day.

The authorities have set goals of 1,000m a day for fifth-and sixth-graders, 1,500m for middle school students, and 2,000m for senior middle school and college students.
