Henderson Land x Pok Oi Central Charity Run Hong Kong 2027

Henderson Land x Pok Oi Central Charity Run 2027 takes place in Central, Hong Kong, on Sunday 14 February 2027. Organised by Pok Oi Hospital with Henderson Land as title sponsor, the event raises money for Pok Oi Hospital's Tuen Mun Lam Tei residential care and nursing home project, encouraging runners to support older members of the community.

Routes and race programme

Three running distances are advertised: 10K, 3K and 1K, with individual and family groupings. The event also includes a separate 1.8K wheelchair activity, not counted as a running distance. The assembly area is Tamar Park in Admiralty. The event takes place around the Central waterfront. Follow the final official 2027 route maps and traffic arrangements instead of relying on a previous edition.

The provisional event timetable published for 2027 indicates 10K at 07:20, 3K at 09:15, individual 1K at 10:15 and family 1K at 10:30, all in Hong Kong time (UTC+8). These times are provisional and should be reconfirmed from the participant race guide. The tentative eligibility information indicates 10K entrants must be at least 16, individual 3K and 1K participants at least eight, and family groups include adults with younger children. Confirm the age and group restrictions before entering.

Registration and race-pack collection

The official organiser's calendar confirms registration opened 8 October 2026 and is scheduled to close 3 January 2027, potentially earlier if capacity fills. Race-pack collection is scheduled for 29–31 January 2027; successful entrants should follow the organiser's collection email for the exact venue and documents. The current official event details list HK$350 per individual for each of 10K, 3K and 1K. Family 1K costs HK$600 per adult-and-child pair, with the child aged 3–7. Corporate/group 10K or 3K costs HK$13,800 per team of 8–10, not per runner; the first eight finishers determine the team result. Confirm eligibility and any extra donation requirements before paying. The 1K activities are untimed; 10K has a 90-minute limit and 3K a 30-minute limit. The entry closing date is confirmed, but a closing hour is not stated; any system time shown should not be treated as an organiser-announced deadline hour. See the official important dates and terms and race rules.

Fundraising milestones for 2027

The organiser's 2027 important-dates calendar separates race registration from charitable fundraising obligations. 24 January 2027 at 23:59 Hong Kong time is the cut-off for the top fundraising awards; it is not the general race-entry deadline. The deadline for additional donations and updating sponsor information is 28 February 2027, when participants can also download their e-certificates. Donation e-receipts are scheduled to become available on 14 March 2027; the organiser states donations of HK$100 or more can qualify for a Hong Kong tax-deductible receipt, subject to the applicable rules. These dates concern fundraising administration, not race-day flag-offs or guaranteed prizes.

Important rules and charitable purpose

The organiser says accepted fees are non-refundable and non-transferable, and race-day walk-in registration is not available. Extreme weather may cause amendments or cancellation; review the official Hong Kong Observatory warnings, latest race-day notices and fundraising instructions. The event's charity fundraising and top-donor award deadlines are separate from the 3 January registration deadline. The map marker shows Tamar Park generally, not the exact starting mat.

Practical race-day advice from the organiser

Pok Oi advises participants to arrive at least 60 minutes before their assigned start, allowing time for the warm-up and any arrival checks. Water stations, first aid and a baggage-storage area at Tamar Park are planned. Baggage acceptance closes 15 minutes before the relevant race starts. The organiser encourages runners to bring a reusable water bottle and collection bag. Race arrangements can change in extreme weather; check the official current-edition rules shortly before travelling.
