10 Years of Running and Care to Fight Hunger!
The annual charity running event "HUNGER RUN 2025", organized by the social enterprise FOODSPORT and sponsored by Metro City Plaza One(MCP One) under Sunlight REIT will take place on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at Tseung Kwan O Waterfront Promenade. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the event, with the theme "Fresh and Zesty", which promises to bring renewed vitality and excitement. The event also aligns with World Food Day, aiming to combat and alleviate hunger issues.
Fresh and Zesty symbolizes the feeling of newness and refreshment, whether in food or other experiences, bringing energy and joy while reflecting the original spirit of Hunger Run. This represents the 10th anniversary of Hunger Run, highlighting a decade of dedication and achievements in spreading love and care by supporting those in need through running.
This year’s running route will take participants across the Tseung Kwan O Cross Bay Bridge, offering stunning views of the eastern harbor while celebrating the ten-year journey of Hunger Run. All calories burned during the event will be converted into food donations to support the charity partner Foodlink Foundation helping communities in need. In addition, the event proceeds, after deducting operating costs and food donations, will be contributed to the "FOODSPORT FOUNDATION" to fund its "Food Assistance" and "Community Sport" programs, ensuring the sustainability and expansion of our community calorie drive initiatives in Hong Kong.
Save the date and join this meaningful event with friends to run for better health, love and hunger!
