[Now News Channel]A special marathon was held in Admiralty, with 3 kilometers and 1.5 kilometers respectively, attracting more than 4,000 participants.
Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po was present to preside over the opening ceremony.
The marathon starts at Lung Wo Road in Admiralty, passes through the Central and Wan Chai sections of the Central and Western District Promenade, and ends in Admiralty. Retired Paralympic gold medal runner Su Wai Wai was also present to encourage participants.
The event includes a 3-kilometer challenge and an inclusive run for runners with intellectual disabilities and their accompanying runners, as well as a 1.5-kilometer family group.
After working hard to complete the event, it’s no wonder that I feel so relieved.
Mr. Huang, the accompanying runner: “We have a gathering every year. Many service users, colleagues and old colleagues from the unit have fun together like an event.”
First-time runners and accompanying runners are well prepared for this event.
Participant Xuan Zai: “I am looking forward to today’s competition. I have been training for this competition for many weeks. It is a bit difficult to participate for the first time, but it is a good experience. I hope to participate once more next year.”
Mr. Su, the runner who accompanied him: “In the past practice, everyone communicated well, cooperated well together, and kept time. The results came out. I was very happy to see him while running. “
This year, people from different regions were also invited to participate. Some participants from Beijing said that the atmosphere was very good.
Participant Ms. Li: “I saw many volunteers running with me, and I feel that the support for them is very good, and the society and people are very caring.”
Although unlike a traditional marathon, they only ran three kilometers, they ran as hard as they might.
