​

Lure the snake out of its hole on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year! Come to the Central and Western District Promenade to participate in the Promenade Charity K-Run to raise funds for K-Farm.

The competition is divided into Men's and Women's 10K, Buddy/Family 5K Relay and Corporate/Group 10K Relay. Runners need to complete 6 farming missions and can also join our snake dances and dress up as vegetables or snakes. Let’s welcome the Year of Snake together!

 

Background:

K-Farm, operated by an NGO, Rough C limited, on a self-financing basis, is located on the Belcher Bay Promenade in Kennedy Town. It was officially launched in June 2021 and is the first urban farm in Hong Kong combining hydroponics, aquaponics and soil farming facilities. In the past three years or so, the farm has provided more than 200 different scale community activities for the public and has become a popular place for neighbors in the district for planting, leisure and family activities.

Due to the gradual deterioration and obsolescence of the facilities on site, and the severe shortage of daily operating funds, we urgently need support from all the public to raise donations to help the farm repair and replace facilities so that we can continue to operate and organize more meaningful and beneficial events for the public. All profits from this event will be used to support the operation, maintenance and community activities of K-Farm.

 

 

Objectives:

• Raise funds for K-Farm to repair and replace damaged or old facilities to continue organizing community activities;

• Encourage citizens, families, corporate employees and disadvantaged groups to participate in running activities to keep fit;

• Allow participants to experience the fun of urban farming by completing farming missions;

• Encourage organizations to participate in teams, build team spirit and practice social responsibility;

• Let’s happily welcome the Year of Snake on the fifth day of the new year.

 

 

Route and rules:

• The 10K races (5K for Buddy/Family Relay) starting and ending at K-Farm, will go back and forth between Belcher Bay Promenade and Wan Chai Promenade, with a time limit of 1.5 hours (Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park grassland and 1 hour for Buddy/Family Relay).

• The entire route is divided into 6 sections, and individual runners need to complete designated "K-missions" at 6 mission points along the way (each one is expected to take less than 10 seconds).

• In addition to completing the mission, the main runner in each section of the relay team must carry the designated agricultural tools to the next mission point and hand them over to the main runner in that section.

• ​​​​​​​The relay team needs to plan in advance to arrange the main runners for each section (identified by armbands). Other team members can run together or wait at the mission points. No transportation is allowed during the competition.

• The individual runners or relay teams that finish the race and complete 6 missions fastest will win the races.
