Promenade K-RUN

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 and Men's and Women's 5K, . Runners need to complete farming missions and can also dress up as vegetables or snakes. Let's run for good cause and have fun 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. **Route and rules:** Men's and Women's 10K: The races starting and ending at K-Farm, will go back and forth between Belcher Bay Promenade and Central Promenade (near Tamar Park), with a time limit of 2 hours.
