The Hong Kong event Standard Chartered Marathon will be held next Sunday (24th). In the past, many runners would wear exotic costumes to compete.
However, since this is the first Standard Chartered Marathon after the "Minato National Security Law" took effect, the outside world is concerned about whether the conference will restrict clothing or clothing slogans.
The Hong Kong Athletics Association issued a statement tonight (19th) that if any runners violate the law or the rules of the convention, if the persuasion fails, the law enforcement agencies will be asked to intervene and assist.

Runners must undergo a security check at the starting point
The Hong Kong Athletics Association issued a statement tonight, saying that ensuring the safety and health of runners and the public is the main prerequisite for hosting the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon.
The conference reminds participants to abide by the rules of the conference. If there is any violation of the law or the rules of the conference on the day of the race, the conference will give advice.
If the persuasion fails, the conference will ask law enforcement agencies to intervene and assist.
As for runners wearing special attire or carrying backpacks, they must enter the checkpoint at the starting point under the instructions of the conference staff to undergo security checks before they can participate in the relevant activities.
Zama stated at a press conference held yesterday (18th) that the conference will not restrict any clothing colors and slogans. As for suspected illegal slogans such as "light time", it has nothing to do with the conference. The conference will conduct proper inspections for runners at the starting point. Avoid clothes that cause loads.
