For two consecutive years holding the event at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, the newly designed 5.6 km route covered all scenic areas around the Resort which attracted more than 4,000 participants and 11 corporate teams to join the event. Participants started at Disneyland Coach Park, ran along Park Promenade, Waterfront Promenade, then turned at Sea Point Road towards Magic Road and finished at Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre. This year, in response to International Olympic Committee’s appeal to celebrate the worldwide Olympic Day, apart from the fun run, the Federation organized a sport carnival to add fun to the public by setting up the games booths and introducing the dragon and lion dance and marching band performances into the event which brought the great excitement to the public and promoted the Olympic Day theme of “Move, Learn and Discover”.
