Run for Survival 2024

Run For Survival: Saving Giant Panda’s Habitat Together!

Ocean Park Conservation Foundation, Hong Kong (OPCFHK) is delighted to announce the return of its annual charity run, which will take place on November 24, 2024! This year, the Run For Survival 2024 will be staged at Ocean Park Hong Kong and Water World Ocean Park Hong Kong. Participants will enjoy an exciting race experience, passing by thrilling rides and breathtaking views of the surrounding area. After the race, participants can spend the day exploring the park, creating unforgettable family memories!

 

With the theme "Saving Giant Panda’s Habitat Together," Run For Survival 2024 aims to promote the conservation of giant pandas and their habitats, raising awareness about the threats they face.

 

The event offers multiple race categories for different ages and abilities. Experienced runners can participate in the 5km Timed Challenge race, while beginners or families can choose the 4km Fitness run. Children can also participate in the 1km Panda Run as the adorable giant panda conservation heroes, working together to overcome challenges and protect giant panda habitats.

 

Before stepping up to the starting line, let’s be creative and dress up as panda to join our all-new “Best Dress up Award – Individual/ Family”! Beyond the exciting races, the Conservation Carnival to be held on the same day will offer interactive experiences including educational booths and workshops, allowing the public to have fun while learning about contributing to a sustainable future.

 

All proceeds from the event will go to OPCFHK to support our conservation efforts across Asia.  Entries are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. We invite all nature lovers, young and old, to become conservation heroes and contribute to protecting our environment.
