China: Check out this 'smart' running track that prevents cheating
The 'Run of the Youth' race was the second event to be held at the smart running track in Mingzhuhu Park on Shanghai's Chongming Island, Saturday, since its inauguration on May 15.
The 8-kilometre (4.9-mile) track surrounds Mingzhuhu lake and it features high-tech devices such as a facial recognition system - reportedly to prevent competitors from taking shortcuts - and heart rate monitors. Furthermore, an automatic water mist machine, is yet to be put to use, will serve to cool down runners.
The track is made of two types of surfaces - 6,800 meters (22,309 feet) of plastic and 700 meters (2,296 feet) of red asphalt. It also includes a wooden pontoon section over water, stretching up to 500 meters (1,640 feet).
