Chaotic Tsuen Wan District New Year Distance Run 2007 - 07/01/01


This race held by Tsuen Wan District Sports & Recreation Association was the most chaotic, disorganizing and "silly" races I have ever attended (already attended more than 100 races in 3 year).

- Without sending acceptance letters, the organizer asked the runners to show their HKID cards when collecting number bibs (No problem to me but probably creating problems to some runners)

- The organizer announced the names of the runners who failed to pay the entry fees. This was absolutely unnecessary coz the entry fees when number bibs being collected. Moreover it's only $20.(what the big deal?)

- The organizer asked the runners to collect the souvenirs and deposit their number bibs (without prior announcement again). All the other race organizers only mark the number bib with sign pens.

- I even found the voice of the announcement being impolite and annoying.

- Due to the anger I even forgot to press my stop watch and only knew I ranked No. 44 (in my age group or taotal?)

- The souvenir mug is so small and ugly that looked like the mug used by prisoners. I will not collect it if I know it is so ugly.

- I will never attend this race again even the race is free of charge. The race organizing by LCSD and Sai Kung District Sports Association became so good compared with this "messy" race.

- The worst thing id the organizer showed no respect to the runners. (Why bother to hold a running race then?)

I seriously recommend the organizer not to hold this race in 2008 with a view to saving the time of the volunteers and runners, and save the pulic fund too.

Mizuno Boxing Day Run 2006


Just completed the 4Km Boxing Day Run in 21 mins+ in the morning today.
The fine weather & cooler temperature was perfect for running.
However there were so many youngsters jamming the race course today.
A youngster failed to over take me in the last second before the finishing line.

Nice race!
