Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon

Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2012

Background of Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon

The Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon is one of the major annual events organised by the Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association and was awarded, in the past five years, as an "M" Mark event by the Major Sports Events Committee under the Sports Commission. This year, the event was held on 8 February 2009, and attracted 55,000 international and local runners to participate. Last year, a new route for the 10km Races at Island Eastern Corridor and the Full and Half Marathon with the route extending from Convention Avenue to Victoria Park via Marsh Road and Lockhart Road was introduced. To cope with the demand, the same route of last year was applied this year in order to enable more participants to be accommodated for joining the event. It is also the first time to divide the Half Marathon into Half Marathon Challenge and Half Marathon Run 1.

This year, Mr Cyrian Kiogora Mwobi of Kenya and Ms Winnie Frida Kwamboka Nyansikera of Kenya won the Overall Championships of Men's and Women's events respectively. Same as previous years, the event was again the final leg of the "Greatest Race on Earth".
