On November 30,  29 ultra-marathon athletes from seven countries gathered at the Soochow University athletic field to complete the 24-hour ultra-marathon challenge. This year saw fruitful results, with seven athletes meeting the international standards (244 km for men, 224 km for women), continuing the legacy of the Soochow Ultra Marathon's 20th edition as a gold medal event.

GFC has long been a sponsor of the Soochow Ultra Marathon, encouraging employees to form teams for the 5-hour ultra-marathon relay race, where each runner alternates every 30 minutes. This year, GFC's "Ben Hao" team achieved first place in the sponsor category with a total distance of 60.74 km, while the "GFC Love Running 1" team secured third place. Among the four teams from GFC, four runners surpassed 7 km each, which is a remarkable achievement
