In order memorialize the westward migration of Zhejiang University, enhance the relationship between teachers and students, and carry forward the team spirit, ZJU-UoE institute organized a trail-walk on the morning of October 11 with a distance of 10 kilometers. Nearly 400 teachers and students from ZJE, other joint institutes and campus units participated in the activity.

Before the start of trail-walk, ZJE Vice Dean Ye Chen expressed her wishes for all participants: “I hope you will enjoy the warm autumn sun and get close to nature with relaxation; I hope you can build up your body and feel the happiness brought by sports and sunshine ; I hope you can work together and experience the strength and courage of the team. Finally, I wish ZJE and you are always on the way to build a dream together, on the way to move ahead together.”

The trail-walk is divided into two parts: around the cuckoo lake and around the campus. At 9:00 a.m., as the whistle blew, the teams who had already gathered in front of the South Gate rushed out to start their journey of happiness and sweat.
Starting from the first spot, a total of 8 check-in points distributed on the trail-walk route need to be clocked in. Check-in point No. 4 is the supply point to provide water and food to the participants, and No. 2 and No. 7 are the task points, which need to complete the task of taking group photos and small games. All the team members used their intelligence and worked together to complete the tasks. While enjoying the scenery along the way, they talked and laughed with new friends, encouraged each other, and rushed to the next check-in point.

After all the participants gathered at the finishing point, they got the souvenirs, signed their names on the spray painting, and took the characteristic group photo of their own team, the trail-walk activity was successfully completed. Ultimately, every participant received a well-designed ZJE passport, which stamped with the mark of "trail-walk".

Although the sun is very bright, although we have been walking for a long time and were tired at last, the perseverance of “Left Behind” team is perfect. We have gained growth, friendship and positive energy.

One thing that I want to highlight from ZJE 2020 Trail-walk as a sport event is that it is inclusive for everyone despite their sport ability. I think having inclusive event like this will make everyone feel appreciated and belong to the ZJE family. It also helps breaking the barriers between the International and Chinese members of ZJE.

I believe that all participants today can understand what Trail-walk is. The participants walked ten kilometers under the sun, which was a test of perseverance. Volunteers accompany the participants, busy but fulfilling. Everyone gains a lot through ZJE Trail-walk.

It's the best reward for scientific research workers to have a walk in the beautiful autumn, enjoy the pleasant sunshine and boundless scenery. What's more, you have many friends to walk with you. ZJE trail-walk not only liberates us from the busy scientific research life, but also gives us a chance to blow the breeze on the lake, enjoy the time with your friend. Although this activity has just ended, we are looking forward to the coming of the next trail-walk.
