The UNICEF Run for every child 2019 offers half marathon, 10 km run, 5 km run and 3 km run to individual runners and families.
The UNICEF Run for every child offers half marathon, as well as 10 km, 5 km and 3 km (youth and family) races. We welcome the participation of individual runners, families, corporates and schools. This year, we have launched an enhanced mobile fundraising platform, where participants can create personal fundraising pages to share their philanthropic stories and amplify their belief in helping children easily by uploading videos, photos and posts. The platform also provides a social media sharing function so that runners can mobilize support from their friends and relatives. In addition, the platform is also open to supporters from the wider community, as we welcome the general public to show their support to children living in developing countries and the runners, and to rally for more resources in support of UNICEF’s work.
- A free personalized bib with name printed for each runner who has successfully created a personal page and received at least one donation.
- A chance to win prizes, such as limited edition UNICEF gifts or adidas water bottles, for individual runners and families who have met the specified fundraising target through their personal fundraising pages.
- 30,000 Asia Miles for the top online fundraiser in each of the following divisions: Individual, Family and Supporter (i.e. non-runner).
As the largest road-running charity event in Hong Kong, we take great effort to make it a family and environmentally friendly event. Measures that will be taken include:
- A finisher medal for every participant: For the first time, a finisher medal will be presented to all the runners who finish the race (including the 5 km and 3 km races) participants. Those participating in the Family and Youth divisions will also receive a valuable commemorative prize.
- The provision of professional eathable runner’s tees: The tees are made with elastic eathable materials.
- More water refilling facilities: The event last year was commended for being a “Green Outdoor Activity” for the first time. This year, we will continue to minimize waste by providing foldable cups and additional water refilling stations.
- Family-friendly facilities to promote nurturing care: Nursing Rooms and other family-friendly facilities will be set up to meet the needs of parents and children. Runners will also be invited to take part in other upcoming UNICEF HK’s family-friendly activities.
Run for every child 2019 is made possible by Principal Sponsor China Cinda (HK) Holdings Company Limited. Other sponsors include Gold Sponsors Asia Miles Limited and New World Development Company Limited, and a number of supporting partners. Official Sportswear adidas Hong Kong Limited will provide event souvenir T-shirts and training workshops for runners.
