A 10km Buttered Pineapple Bun Run, a 3km Deep Fried Chicken Leg Run, and a 1 km Milk Tea Run – yes these are the official categories for Hunger Run 2023 that’s happening on October 15 at Jockey Club HKFA Football Training Centre, Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong. Beyond the fun, quirky, and mouth-watering category names, this event organized by FOODSPORT, aims to raise public awareness to fight hunger and poverty while raising funds for J Life Foundation’s food assistance programs.

The charity flagship running event “HUNGER RUN” organized by social enterprise FOODSPORT, is returning after a two-year pandemic hiatus, bringing back the joy and excitement of a PHYSICAL running event to the Hong Kong community, raising public awareness to fight poverty and hunger on “The World Food Day”.

In celebration of FOODSPORT’s 10th Anniversary, a new category “3km Fun Roller (Individual)”, new venue, new route and a new “Cha Kee” theme (Hong Kong Traditional Style Cafe) will be added to the event, creating a meaningful, fun and foodie filled running event for all walks of live, encouraging runners to run more, eat more and to donate more to support our charity partner “J Life Foundation” Food Assistance Program, serving those families in need living in Sham Shui Po.

Beside the calorie donation, the proceeds of the event, after deduction of the event operating costs and food donations, will be donated to the “FOODSPORT FOUNDATION”, funding its “Food Assistance” and “Community Sport Development” programs to sustain and expand our community calorie drive programs in Hong Kong.

According to the World Food Programme, “Up to 783 million people – one in ten of the world’s population – still go to bed hungry each night.” What’s even more alarming is, this number continues to rise as the days go by. More and more people, including children, are suffering from hunger and malnutrition. On October 15, let’s help put food on the table for a family that badly needs nourishment. As Mother Teresa once said, “If you cannot feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” Register for Hunger Run 2023 here now.
