Allow running in HK's rivers and gullies 容許跑手繼續到河流及峽谷比賽


Allow running in HK's rivers and gullies 容許跑手繼續到河流及峽谷比賽
The Issue
Action Asia Events has been running the Sprint Series for 16 years. The AFCD have announced it will not issue any more permits for these events.
These events have not only promoted healthy life styles, fitness and community in Hong Kong it has also raised much needed funds for charity. The first sprint series raised funds to build a school for young children in Nepal, other events raised funds to provide outings for Hong Kong's disadvantaged youth. Hundreds of people join these events each year, to explore Hong Kong's amazing natural beauty and to come together for fitness, fun and charity.
If the AFCD go ahead and cancel permits for these events then this could be the beginning of the end to Hong Kong's rich trail running scene. HK's youth are already facing many problems of obesity and inactive lifestyles; the Government and AFCD should be taking extra steps to support events such as the sprint series, rather than spending their resources pouring concrete onto Country Park trails! Please help save Action Asia Sprint Series and all future trail running and hiking events in Hong Kong!
動感亞洲活動(Action Asia Events)已連續16年舉辦越野跑步賽。近日,漁農自然護理署卻公佈停止向有關賽事發出許可證。
這些賽事不僅宣揚良好生活習慣,凝聚社區,更為本港慈善團體籌募經費。首個越野跑步賽便為尼泊爾的辦校項目籌集經費,教育年輕下一代。另外一個賽事籌募所得的善款更為本港貧困兒童提供郊遊機會。
每年,動感亞洲活動都能吸引數百名以上的參加者前來參賽,一起探索香港優美的大自然環境,同時為慈善出一分力。
若漁農自然護理署停止為賽事發出許可證,所有富有趣味的野外賽事將在香港消失。近年,本港青年有癡肥趨勢,部分更欠缺運動,政府應大力支持戶外活動和比賽,而不只是將資源投放在鋪砌郊野公園的石屎徑上。
請支持保留動感亞洲越野跑步賽及香港未來的野外賽跑和攀山比賽!
