Event Introduction
Heifer Hong Kong’s annual fundraising event “Race to Feed” will kick off in 2016 with a brand new Chinese name. It aims to engage the whole community to run for a good cause.
This year, the race will be held on October 23 and take place again along the Pak Shek Kok Promenade with the picturesque view of the Tolo Harbour. Participants can join the “Corporate and Organization 1K x 5 Relay Run”; “Individual 10K Run”; or “3K Family Fun Run”. With the positive feedback from last year’s Corporate Realy Run, Heifer has launched the “Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) Team” this year and renamed the “Non-Profit Organization/School” category to “Non-Profit, Educational & Healthcare Organisations” category, encouraging more companies and the service sectors to join and build team spirit. With this year’s theme, “Heifer Superpower”, participants not only can challenge themselves physically, but also learn about the life-changing power of animals and spend a meaningful Sunday morning with family and friends!
