However, the date of the "Standard Chartered Marathon" was changed from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. In fact, it took more than two years for the current edition of the Standard Chartered Marathon to return.
The lack of overseas runners this year is a battle of "local ginger".
18,500 participants competed in the marathon, half marathon and 10km races.
For the first large-scale public sports event in two years, the conference stipulated that participants must complete two doses of vaccinations and undergo nucleic acid testing before the competition.
This year is also the first slag horse after the implementation of the "Minato National Security Law". The police deployed 2,000 police officers to wait for it.
Earlier, the conference stated that slogans such as "Come on Hong Kong" were okay, but then issued statements on two occasions, emphasizing that sports should not incorporate political elements; today, many runners suspected that sportswear was printed with words such as "Hong Kong" and "Come on" , Is required to change shirts to compete.
