Over 7,000 Participants Join Everbright Spartan Hong Kong 2019
Many large-scale Financial Institutions Participate in New Corporate Championship Charity Race
China Everbright Limited (“Everbright”, stock code: 165.HK) has sponsored Spartan Hong Kong Obstacle Course Race for two consecutive years. Its first race in 2019 concluded successfully on 1 June. Over 7,000 participants, including adults and children, joined the enjoyable experience of an obstacle course race in Yuen Tau Shan in Yuen Long. Apart from the existing 13km Super Race, 5km Sprint Race, and 2km Kids Race, the organizer also set up the new “Everbright Spartan Corporate Championship Charity Race”. Many large-scale financial institutions, including Everbright, ABC International, CITIC Bank, CCB (Asia), CICC, BoCom International and Gammon Construction sent corporate teams to participate in the race, showcasing teamwork to fight for a moment of glory for their companies, with incentives for charity as well. Gammon Construction completed the race in 1.5 hours and won first place. The “Everbright Spartan Corporate Championship Charity Race” raised HKD 80,000 in total for charity, which will be donated to institutions including Orbis, Oxfam, InspiringHK Sports Foundation, and Lifeline Express.
Since the first US Spartan Race in 2007, the event has expanded to 30 countries with more than 240 races held around the world in the last 12 years, attracting over 9 million participants. With a spirit of bravery looking to change for self-breakthrough as well as an exciting and stunning design, Spartan Race has developed as an event welcomed by those who love athleisure and trendy lifestyles. Everbright’s slogan, “The Power to Transform”, echoes with Spartan’s slogan, “The Courage to Succeed”. Everbright hopes its sponsorship to Spartan Hong Kong can bring participants a brand new experience for sports and self-improvement, helping them to make a difference in their lives for the better.
