Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2012
This year marked the 16th year of the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon and the event will be held on 5 Feb 2012.
The theme for 2012 is 'Run for a Reason'. Every runner in the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon has their own personal motivation or reason for participating. We believe that this theme will resonate with every one of our 70,000 runners and their supporters, and will help to inspire each runner to the finish line and to ultimately reach their goals.
Supporting the Community
- The Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon is proud to support the needs of the community through its Charity Programme. Since its inception, over HK$25 million has been raised for these charitable causes, of which around HK$3.7 million was raised in 2011. These donations were largely made possible by the many thousands of inspired runners who want to make a difference to society beyond their personal reward of completing a marathon.
- Three charitable causes have been selected as the key beneficiaries of the Marathon Charity Programme:
Seeing is Believing, The Hong Kong Paralympic Committee & Sports Association for the Physically Disabled, The Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society - The Marathon Charity Programme Online Donation Portal provides a convenient, environmentally-friendly way for runners and their supporters to raise funds and to promote how they are exemplifying the Marathon theme "RUN FOR A REASON".
