2026“一带一路”国家驻华使节自行车系列赛在郑州航空港举行

At 9 a.m. on June 28, the starting gun went off to mark the official launch of the Belt and Road Diplomats' Cycling Series (Henan Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone Station), hosted at Shuanghe Lake Central Park in Henan province. The event brought together nearly 1000 participants in the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone (ZAEZ), including 32 diplomatic envoys stationed in China from 17 BRI partner countries, representatives of international students in China, domestic professional road cyclists and cycling enthusiasts.

6月28日上午9时，随着发令枪响，2026“一带一路”国家驻华使节自行车系列赛（河南郑州航空港站）在双鹤湖中央公园正式开赛。来自17个共建国家的32名驻华使节、海外留学生代表，与国内公路自行车选手及爱好者等近千名参赛者齐聚郑州航空港。

Since its debut in 2023, the series has evolved into a distinctive national-level sports brand IP. The 2026 season introduces a points-based scoring system for the first time, integrating competitive racing with diplomatic dialogues, industrial matchmaking, and urban culture and tourism integration. The race loop winds around the Shuanghe Lake circuit, with each lap stretching 10.6 kilometers, linking ecological landscapes with the sci-tech innovation corridor. The event features four categories, striking a fine balance between elite competitive races and mass public participation.

赛事自2023年创办以来，已成为国家级特色体育IP。2026赛季首次引入积分赛制，并将竞技比赛与外事座谈、产业对接、城市文旅深度融合。赛道沿双鹤湖环线布设，单圈10.6公里，串联起生态景观与科创走廊。赛事共设四大组别，兼顾专业竞技与全民参与。（中文来源：河南日报 编译：张雅涵 审校：陈行洁 赵汉青）
