HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 9 July 2021 – As the pandemic gradually calms down, though overseas vacations are impossible this summer, we can still have fun from local outdoor activities, mountain climbing and running activities. Amidst pandemic disruptions to daily lives, Cushman and Wakefield organises the “Run for Taste” virtual run race from July 17 to August 29, giving everyone a chance to enjoy running and gourmet food at the same time!
A race filled with fun and delicacies
“Run for Taste” is a one-of-its-kind virtual run event organised by the Retail Team of Cushman and Wakefield. To encourage participation from all walks of life to enjoy running, the race comes in various categories with preferences and capabilities suitable for different age groups, genders and even pets. The first race is a round trip course along the Victoria Harbour promenade from Causeway Bay to Central with a distance of about 8 km. Participants will have fun on the newly opened waterfront path, and can admire the spectacular dusk and dawn scenery of Victoria Harbour in close proximity. Selfie photo points have been set up along the waterfront for checking in and taking pictures. Participants can also enjoy exclusive discounts at designated restaurants and bars for a wonderful running and dining experience.
Race packs full of fun and food, and weekly lucky draw
A running and dining activity is never complete without wonderful gourmet treats. Each participant will receive a race pack containing dining and shopping discounts/cash vouchers worth more than HK$250, free drinks and dining discounts, etc. A bib is certainly a must-have. After completing the race, participants will get an E-Finisher Certificate, a souvenir steel tumbler and a souvenir towel (Total value: HK$200). In addition, there is a lucky draw every week with the following prizes:
