Affected repeatedly by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the organizer of the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon said a few days ago that it had not received the government's green light on whether the event will be held on October 24 and will decide whether to cancel it at the latest (13th).

The representative of the Hong Kong Athletics Team, Yao Jiezhen, said on the RTHK program this morning (13th) that it is estimated that the event may not be held as scheduled.

She expected the runners to react enthusiastically to the marathon, "It's so resistant to races, everyone really wants to have a race." Some of the runners have already started preparing for the race, and they will need to make arrangements if they want to postpone it.


Many runners want to race without marathon in two years

Yao Jiezhen, a representative of the Hong Kong Athletics Team, said that he understands that everyone is worried about the spread of the Delta variant virus. The details of the competition have not been officially announced. He frankly said that the holding is "difficult", and it is estimated that it may not be held as scheduled.

She pointed out that there has been no marathon in Hong Kong for nearly two years, and the mentality and atmosphere of the runners will become worse.



She expected the runners to react enthusiastically to the marathon, "I'm so resistant to races, everyone really wants to have a race." As she is preparing to participate in the National Games, she plans to sign up for the 10km race.

The weather is still hot in October. Few students in her running class want to sign up for the full marathon. Most people want to sign up for the half marathon or 10km race, and they have already started preparing for the race.

She also shared that the last time she participated in the event was the Milan Marathon in Italy in May of this year. There were over 1,000 people in the previous events, and this time there were only a few hundred men and women.

She said that the epidemic prevention requirements put forward by Hong Kong include the completion of two injections of the new crown vaccine, the runners are asymptomatic, testing at their own expense, and restrictions on the number of people. The situation is similar to that of foreign countries.

She hopes that the local marathon can also invite overseas runners to achieve mutual influence.
