14 Jan 2010 - Hong Kong: Following the runaway success of the Hong Kong National Olympic Committee’s 2009 Olympic Day Run at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, the entry quota has been raised from 4,000 to 6,000 for this year’s edition.

“We held it for the first time in Disneyland last year and it proved to be a great success, with a full quota of runners,” said Pang Chung, Secretary General of the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China.

“The route for this year’s run has not been finalised, but the distance will be the same of around 4km. It will start at the Disneyland coach park and continue through a lot of greenery on Lantau Island.”

The date has been fixed for Sunday, June 27, and runners (and walkers) of all ages will be welcome.

“It’s a ‘Sport for All’ project, and, with the help of the sponsors, we will make it a family affair with a programme of entertainment,” added Pang.
