BEIJING, July 10 (Xinhua) -- China's star ultra-marathon runner Chen Penbin completed his last run of the 100-marathon-in-100-day campaign in Beijing on Friday.
"We can achieve what we want!" Chen yelled as he crossed the finish line outside Beijing's MasterCard Center, formerly known as the Wukesong Stadium.
"Persistence is what has continued to push me forward. I'm really happy that I can achieve this. But more importantly, I hope I can inspire more people to run for their health," added the 37-year-old man, who formerly was a fisherman.
Chen started his journey from Guangzhou on April 2, and ran all the way through Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei, Tianjin until he arrived at the final stop of Beijing.
He ran 100km in South Pole in 2014, becoming the first runner to compete in ultra-marathon in all seven continents.
