Living out the marathon spirit of perseverance
The CityU Marathon Club (The Club) continued to organise an array of wellness programmes to promote the “marathon spirit”. At the start of the 2018 semester, alumni runners from the Club joined new students at the Welcome Week organised by the Student Residence Office. The “Run for Fun” event sought to promote a healthy campus life and help freshmen integrate into the CityU family.
In the summer, the Club together with ARO and Student Development Services, organised an overseas trip for top runners to the Helsinki Marathon in Finland. Students, staff and alumni took part in the race on 25 August 2018. President Professor Way Kuo, Head of the Delegation, encouraged CityU runners to do their best and to persevere.
Ready to set the pace: President Professor Way Kuo joined the 10K race for the 11th consecutive year.
A team of 1,100 CityU runners, including alumni, students and staff joined the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2019 on 17 February. Around 40 teachers and students from four special educational needs (SEN) schools–Mary Rose School, Hong Kong Red Cross Margaret Trench School, Society of Boys' Centres Chak Yan Centre School, and CCC Kei Shun Special School–ran together with the CityU team to promote social inclusion.
