Run for Education Futures
The year 2026 is a particularly special year, as it marks the 10th anniversary of the retitling of EdUHK — a milestone that reflects our passion, unity, and commitment to shaping Education Futures. Following our successful participation in the 2025 Hong Kong Marathon, we are thrilled to rally the entire EdUHK community once again to run the 2026 Marathon on 18 January (Sunday). Your participation will be a perfect way to celebrate the 10th anniversary and to demonstrate our team spirit of "Sport for All".
