参加马拉松，同时到比赛举办城市休休假，锻炼休息两不误，成为时下不少年轻人的选择。时髦的“比赛休假”，你也想尝试吗？

当日，2017年秦皇岛国际马拉松赛暨全国马拉松锦标赛（第二站）在秦皇岛市奥体中心开赛。此项赛事吸引了2万多名马拉松专业运动员与爱好者参赛。

 

Racecation refers to a trip that combines participating in a race, such as a marathon or triathlon, and a vacation.

 

“比赛休假”指的是途中要参加比赛的旅行，比如在假期行程中参加马拉松或三项全能比赛。

 

Who said running is all work and no play? Yes, training for a marathon or half marathon involves long runs, early mornings, weekend sacrifices and challenging workouts. But it can also be a great reason to explore a new city and plan a fabulous vacation. Or, as I like to call it: a racecation.

 

谁说跑步就是“只工作不玩耍”？是的，参加马拉松或者半程马拉松需要长跑，很早起床，牺牲周末时间，和挑战性的锻炼。但是探索一座新城市，计划一个美妙假期也是个好理由。正如我喜欢称之为：比赛休假。

 

例句： I just got back from a mini racecation. I thought I’d share the things that I always forget and the things I never forget to create the ultimate packing list for a racecation!

 

我刚刚从短期的“比赛休假”归来。我觉得我要分享总会忘记的东西，和从不会忘记的东西，来打造一份极致的“比赛休假”装箱清单！
