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.

charity miles to the "F&B Run Club - Run to the Moon" project,
which aims to reach a 384,400 km goal (equivalent to the distance from the
Earth to the Moon) for charity purpose.
F&B Run Club is a network of owners
and staff working within the food & beverage industry, who are on a mission
to raise money for worthy charities through various activities that integrate
