Chairman of the Hong Kong, China Association of Athletics Affiliates
Mr Kwan Kee

The “Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2024” will be held on 21st January 2024. With the support from the HKSAR Government and the citizens of Hong Kong, the “Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon” has become one of the most iconic sports events in Hong Kong, and also arouses high attentions in the city.

Running is one of the most popular sports in Hong Kong, “Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon” is the largest platform to allow everyone to run and have fun together. It is also the best opportunity for the public to develop their healthy lifestyle.

The Hong Kong, China Association of Athletics Affiliates is honored to promote distance running events in Hong Kong and help to develop the sports culture among the society.

The “Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon” has been recognised as the World Athletics Gold Label Road Race as well as one of the “M” Mark Events in Hong Kong. Furthermore, the “19th Asian Marathon Championships” will also be held concurrently with the “Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2024”, which is the fifth time for these regional championships hosted by Hong Kong. We expect the Asian Championships will attract top runners from 45 Asian countries to Hong Kong to compete with our local runners. We are happy that the quota will resume to 74,000, same as the numbers before the pandemic. The race courses of the three different distance events will cover all the major landmarks in Hong Kong.

Lastly, I would like to express my appreciation to our title sponsor Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) for the great support in the past years, and thank you all the sponsors, government departments, volunteers, runners and citizens for your continuously support to make it success for years. See you on 21st January 2024!
