Thousands start 2019 on half-marathon high at Shanghai's Formula One circuit
It was a cold but rewarding start to 2019 for the 10,000 hardy souls who braved the chilly weather at the Run the Track half marathon in Shanghai on New Year's Day.
The annual race is staged at the Shanghai International Circuit, home of Formula One's Chinese Grand Prix, in the city's Jiading district. And with temperatures plummeting to near freezing, many must have wished they were cocooned in the warmth of an F1 car as they withstood the elements to kick off the year in determined fashion.
