UNICEF Charity Run 2011
UNICEF Charity Run 2011 will be held at the Hong Kong
Disneyland Resort and Sunny Bay on 27 November (Sunday). This year the race
will continue to raise funds for UNICEF’s “Unite for Children. Unite against
AIDS” Global Campaign.
The aim is to have 13,000 runners and raise HK$8.5 million
for the purchase of “HIV Test Kits” for pregnant women. If HIV-positive
mothers-to-be know about their situations at an early stage, they can promptly
receive essential medication and care so as to prevent the transmission of the
virus to their babies.
Jointly organized by Hong Kong Committee for UNICEF and Hong
Kong Amateur Athletic Association, UNICEF Charity Run 2011 includes Half
Marathon, 10km Run and 3km Fun Run. The course of Half Marathon and 10km Run
are sanctioned by AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distance
Races). The Half Marathon and 3km Family Run are already FULL. Open are the
10km Run and the 3km Individual Run for teenagers aged 11-15. Enroll now to
secure your place before the remaining quotas run out! Visit their website
