FUN RUN 2018

his year’s Fun Run, held on 24 March 2018, saw some
T500 people, including top academics, taking part in the race.
The event, launched in 2001, is jointly organised by the Faculty
of Medicine and Chung Chi College of The Chinese University
of Hong Kong.

The 5km Explorers route started at Prince of Wales Hospital
and ended at Lingnan Stadium of Chung Chi College.
The 10km Challengers route also began at Prince of Wales
Hospital, meandered pass Belair Gardens, Lion Rock Tunnel,
Shatin Park and then onto the scenic On King Street Park
promenade and eventually ended at Lingnan College.
Professor Enders Ng, Associate Dean (Alumni Affairs), Faculty of Medicine, and Professor Fong Wing-ping,
Head of Chung Chi College, were the officiating guests. CUHK’s former Vice-Chancellor and
President, Professor Joseph Sung, also donned his running shoes and joined in the fun.

Trophies were awarded to the Champions while those coming in Second and Third
walked away with medals. But trophy or no trophy, a tea reception at the end of the
races made up for all the participants’ “hard work”! And, they all agree that Fun Run is
certainly a healthy and fun way of socialising.

The annual event is open to alumni of the Faculty of Medicine and Chung Chi College.
