As HKUST celebrates its 25th anniversary, there will be a wide spectrum of events for all members of our family, from students to alumni to faculty to staff. For sports lovers, joining our HKUST Marathon Team for the city's iconic sports event – the (Standard Chartered Bank) Hong Kong Marathon to be held on Sunday, 17 January 2016 - is a perfect opportunity for us to mark this historic milestone together in 2016. As part of our 25th anniversary celebration, we want to organize a HKUST team at the upcoming Hong Kong Marathon with the assistance of the HKUST Student Affairs Office, Alumni Association, Staff Association, and the Development and Alumni Office. Any member of the HKUST Marathon Team will be given a "limited edition" running t-shirt* kindly sponsored by the Li-Ning Company. Bearing the 25th Anniversary and HKUST logos, the t-shirt will highlight our HKUST spirit along the routes.

In addition, we want to mobilize the HKUST Marathon Team to contribute also to Charity. We are presently working with the Organizing Committee of the Hong Kong Marathon to have our HKUST runners support the charities under the Hong Kong Marathon Charity Program. So, you are not only running as the 1-HKUST Team, you and HKUST will be helping causes that benefit Hong Kong society.

Join the HKUST Marathon Team, together we compete for the "Most Supportive Group Award".
