Green Run was first held in 2016 to raise public awareness about environmental conservation, protection and responsibility, as well as to promote the transformation of Hong Kong into a greener and more sustainable city. By organising and staging this meaningful charity sports event, we encourage the public to implement greener choices and living habits in their daily lives, while embracing the competitive spirit found in long-distance runners for environmental responsibility.
The 8th edition of Green Run continues to emphasise the principle of green measures and environmental protection. In order to practise green living, we will:
-
Not distribute bottled water or drinks. Instead, we will provide reusable water cups on the event day
-
Set up plastic, metal, paper, glass and food waste recycling bins in prominent places to encourage clean recycling
-
Arrange with our sponsors to distribute food and souvenirs with simple packaging at the Post-run Party
-
Carefully select the type of food for the Post-run Party and estimate the amount of food based on the number of participants to reduce surplus food
