The Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon will take place on Sunday, 21 January 2018. The Event will further increase 1,000 enrollment quota for the Marathon category this year, encouraging runners to challenge themselves with a longer running distance. The new public ballot entry (team) in the 10KM race will be introduced for the first time this year, enabling runners to enjoy the race with families and friends.
Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2018 will continue to adopt the public ballot entry arrangement like other international competitions. In view of the fact that the “Charity Entry” introduced last year received great support from runners, the related quota will be doubled up to 600 this year. A dedicated Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon donation portal is also launched to raise funds for “Seeing is Believing – Orbis”, The Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society and Hong Kong Paralympic Committee & Sports Association for the Physically Disabled.
