Event Details

Join us for a unique and energising event co-hosted by the British Chamber, Our Beijing, Overtone, and Taozi Tree Yoga โ€“ a collaboration between three passionate British Chamber members who love this city and want to connect more deeply with it... and each other.


The Central Axis Run is more than just a run โ€“ it's a celebration of Beijing's historic heart, a chance to move your body, meet great people, and experience the Central Axis in a whole new way. Over the course of approximately 12km, we'll jog past some of the city's most iconic landmarks, with scheduled breaks and photo stops along the way.


The experience doesn't end when the run does. We'll cool down with a guided yoga session by Taozi Tree Yoga, followed by social drinks and networking at Overtone, a cosy and creative brewery alongside the hutongs. Your first drink is included in the cost of the ticket, with further drinks and food available for purchase.


Whether you're new to Beijing or have been here for years, this is your chance to experience its central thread while meeting others who call it home.


Tickets are exclusively on sale for BritCham members until Monday 7th April at 12noon. BritCham members' friends and families are expressly welcome to join!
