[One Team, One Goal: Beyond Limits]<\/strong><\/p>

The ballot results of the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2026 have been released. To all successful runners, we hereby invite you to take one step forward to run with faith and power together.<\/p>

We definitely need more support from each other to ride out the hardships during this difficult time. Development and Alumni Affairs Office warmly invites you to join the HKMU Running Team<\/strong><\/span> on 18 January 2026 (Sunday). Run alongside fellow alumni, staff, and students as we strive to go beyond our limits hand-in-hand.<\/p>

As part of HKMU Running Team, you will receive an exclusive runner's pack<\/span><\/strong> to support and motivate you along your journey. Eligible participants will also enjoy a 50% sponsorship of the registration fee<\/strong><\/span>. Spots are limited and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>

Running is much more than a sport. It is what brings us together, and a way to send love and care. It is our time to show the perseverance of HKMU through each of our steps, and to pass on this strength to the cherished ones around us, spreading it further to every corner of the city we all live in.<\/p>

We sincerely look forward to your participation. Together, we run with warmth, we run with hope.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
