Yu Liang, the CEO of China's residential real estate developer Vanke, used to be a busy entrepreneur who seldom exercised. In order to pursue his dream of conquering Mount Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest, he started running four years ago.

Three years later, the 49-year-old Yu fulfilled his dream and has become an enthusiastic promoter of running. In 2013, he launched a series of road race events called Run for Fun. This year, events have spread to 60 cities in China and attracted more than 100,000 participants.

"When I asked my friends to climb Mount Qomolangma with me, no one volunteered. But when I asked them to join me in running, nearly everyone said yes," a smiling Yu said.
