In this issue we turn our attention to the outer suburbs of Pudong. There’s none of the city-center hustle there, but tucked away are two distinctive athletics tracks that hold and witness several generations’ memories of sport. 1. Chuansha Stadium 地址： 2541 Huaxia East Road, Pudong New Area 轨道交通： Metro Line 2 Chuansha Station 跑道： Blue, 8-lane standard 400 m synthetic track 开放时间： Daily 06:00–09:00, 18:00–21:30 特点： Although the venue is a bit far away, driving there is convenient — the underground parking exits directly onto the track. There are 848 parking spaces in total: free for the first 30 minutes; RMB 5 for 30 minutes to 2 hours; after 2 hours RMB 2.5 per half hour. After five years of renovation, it was refurbished in September 2024. The new blue track feels fantastic underfoot — well worth a run. There’s also a fitness path on the outer ring, approximately 700 m long. If you want to do LSD or an easy run, the outer loop is more comfortable. The outdoor grandstand seats 2,400 people — plenty of room to leave your bag, rest, or watch others lap. 2. Nanhui Sports Center 地址： 490 Chengxi Road, Huinan Town, Pudong New Area 轨道交通： Metro Line 16 Huinan Station 跑道： 8-lane standard 400 m synthetic track 开放时间： May–October: 05:00–22:00; November–April: 05:30–21:00 Closed for maintenance from May 18–July 20, 2026; closed to the public — don’t make a wasted trip. 特点： Nanhui Sports Center has been open since 1988 and is a gathering spot for local residents to stroll and run. A standard 400 m athletics track with a football pitch in the center. Simple, direct, pure! There are no fixed grandstands — it’s an open athletics field, so be mindful of your belongings when you run. What new changes will this two-month renovation bring? Let’s look forward to them together. Chuansha Stadium and Nanhui Sports Center may not have the modernity and convenience of city-center tracks, but in their own ways they preserve the warmth of sport for runners in Pudong’s outer suburbs. Whether you prefer Chuansha’s “new” or Nanhui’s “old,” both of these outer-Pudong athletics tracks are worth lacing up for — go run and feel every step.
