(Clearwisdom.net) On May 15, 2004 the regular Falun Gong practice session in Slottsskogen Park, in Gothenburg coincided with the yearly Gothenburg Half Marathon. The long distance race started and ended in the same park. Some 36,000 runners participated and at least as many people were out to watch and cheer them. After their normal practice, Falun Gong practitioners did the exercises again for the unusually large amount of spectators.

For more than 6 years Falun Gong practitioners have been doing their exercises almost every Saturday afternoon in the same place. During the two hour process, about 2000 people pass by. On a sunny day many picnickers sit in the surrounding fields and take the opportunity to watch the serene exercise performance. Practitioners at the training ground are often visited by people who wish to learn the exercises, students who are writing essays about Falun Gong and those who want to known more about the persecution in China.
