Dear Runners, Wahyanites, Parents, Teachers and Friends of Wah Yan,
With only days to go racing on the tarmac, we are very pleased to inform you that a group of dedicated alumni had pledged to donate HK$1,500 for each of our STUDENT runners if they manage to complete their Race in time. There are 183 students in our Team this year. In other words, if all of them complete their Race within 2 hours, we will receive a sum of HK$270,000 additionally and hit our target of HK$1 million this year.
We are therefore encouraging all of you to do your best and enjoy a good Race this Sunday. Your fighting spirit had indeed warranted a big reward from the Wah Yan community. A few pieces of information as a final reminder:
- Gathering point at the pavilion at Gate G, Victoria Park
Our scout boys will be on duty from 0500hrs that day to look after runners’ belongings. The group photo will be taken at 0945hrs. Please feel free to make use of this facility. - Runner’s kit
If you fail to collect your kit on 12/13 February, please bring your HKID and visit the SCB Marathon booth at the Victoria Park on 18 and 19 February from 1000-1600hrs to get it. It is the last opportunity to do so else you cannot run on 20 February.
Whether you are running or not, join the Team at the Pavilion on 20 February. Runners, please take good care of yourselves under the chilly weather. Run only if you are healthy and fit. You have demonstrated a genuine spirit of Wah Yan by fighting till the very end!
See you at the Pavilion on 20 February and thank you very much again for your support.
Best wishes,
Wah Yan One Family Marathon 2011 Organising Committee
