The 8th annual Wuxi Marathon was held in Wuxi, Jiangsu province on Apr. 11. To mark the event, the sports division of JD.com hosted an exhibition space from Apr. 8-11, giving runners and spectators a place to play games, try out products and make purchases through a pop-up store, and even get running tips. Consumers can test products on display and then buy them online to be delivered home, creating an omni-channel experience and raising awareness of JD’s sports category.

The high-tech space featured a virtual skiing game, an electronic hoops shooting game and more, and attracted people of all ages to learn more about JD while being entertained.
