Walking from Prince Edward to Mong Kok, from Jordan to Tsim Sha Tsui... It sounds normal in Hong Kong if the walking distance is between 1-2 MTR stations. But have you thought that you can run from Tsing Yi to Tsuen Wan? Hong Kong is composed of more than 200 islands, but there are only two straits that can be crossed on foot. The Rambler Channel between Tsing Yi and Tsuen Wan is one of them. In fact, it only takes half an hour to cross the Rambler Channel to reach Tsuen Wan via the Tsing Tsuen Bridge.

Tsing Tsuen Bridge is 1.5-kilometer-long with pedestrian roads on both sides. You will find the beautiful scene of Rambler Strait in front of you! 

In the coming community run, we will start running from the Tsing Yi Ferry Terminus, along the Tsing Tsuen Bridge, and to Tsuen Wan Park, and then return. Taking advantage of the late sunset in the summer, this 7-kilometer journey will start at dusk. We will take you through the Rambler Strait on foot. While running, don’t forget to enjoy the scenery and witness the moving sunset together!

Same as before, all burnt calories will be collected and be donated to our beneficiary "AMITY". Let's exercise for hunger together. Registration will be available online from 12 August (Saturday, 1200 noon) to 18 August (Friday, 1200 noon).
