2022-03-28
To follow the success of Smoke-free Run 2019 with an overwhelming response of around 1,600 runners and citizens participated, Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health (COSH) will organize “Smoke-free Run” in virtual mode in order to echo the World No Tobacco Day 2021’s theme “Get Set．Go Smoke-free”. The event aims at motivating smokers to quit smoking through exercises and encouraging the public to build a healthy lifestyle. Wise Mike, the smoke-free ambassador will lead the public to join this healthy event.
The virtual running event will be divided to different categories according to course distances (10KM and 3KM) for Individual, Corporate Team, School Team, Smoke-free Buddy Team and Smoke-free Family Team. To equip participants before the Event, COSH will hold a series of online training workshop for individuals and families in March 2022. Professional coaches will be invited to provide professional advices on running techniques and benefits of exercising, introduce how to carry out training and promote parent-child exercises at home. The workshops will also share how exercising could help smoking cessation.
Event Date: From now until 15 June 2022
Format: Participants can also join the individual or family online training workshops (with limited quotas) to get a special sports gift set with total value of HK$200 after completion.
Registration Fee: around HK$80 (depends on the race category)
Quota: 800 (Limited quota on a first come first served basis)
Prize: Each “Smoke-free Run” participant will receive a race pack, including a Wise Mike T-shirt, a race bib, a sports towel, a water bottle, a medal and sponsored souvenirs. The participants can disseminate smoke-free messages to their family and friends.
Let’s join together!
