May 7: Wings for Life World Charity Run   

header_events_run

How well do Hong Kong’s runners stack up against the rest of the world? Find out by taking part in the Wings for Life World Charity Run. Everyone around the world starts the race simultaneously and live results will rank runners globally, revealing just how quick you are compared to the rest of the world. The distance you run depends on how fast you are; a “catcher car” app will virtually chase you around the track until it catches up with you – the world record is currently 88 kilometres! Fun aside, it’s also meaningful; all proceeds will go towards spinal cord research.

All races around the world will start at 11am UTC, or 7pm Hong Kong time. Happy Valley Racecourse,  tinyurl.com/wingsforlifehk.
