        近年来，上海市民健康意识渐浓，跑步热情高涨，“上海易跑”作为其中非常有特色的、选取中心城区经典景观作为赛道的比赛，深受群众喜爱。2014年易跑第一届赛事路线全长5公里，从鲁迅公园出发，沿着百年历史的四川北路，抵达北外滩，沿途经多伦路、外白渡桥、上海市最古老邮政局等地标性景观，被誉为“最美5公里”。

        今年，上海易跑赛事再次升级，与去年相比，赛道长度从5公里延长到8公里，起点设在了虹口足球场。记者了解到，今年参赛人数由去年的3000人增加到了4500人，选手年龄从18岁至60岁不等。恰逢抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利70周年纪念，2015年易跑路线还增设了虹口区四大会址、犹太难民纪念馆等红色景点，让跑者在健康跑步的同时，不忘革命先辈的贡献。

　　记者在现场看到，今天不仅有大学生情侣携手同跑，还有两鬓斑白的中老年长跑爱好者，此外，更有来自美国、德国、芬兰、日本、韩国等国的跑友。
