Dear Supporters,
WE DID IT! Our incredible runners crossed the finish line of our FIRST Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon, Hong Kong's largest annual sporting event, for gender equality!
HER Fund is privileged to be chosen as the Charity Organisation of the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2026 – Marathon Charity Programme. We are so proud to share that more than half of our amazing runners were actually FIRST-TIME runners, and they ran for the first time to showcase determination and solidarity for Gender Equality.
*All proceeds from this programme will go towards HER Fund's "Community Response Grant" and its operational cost, dedicated to providing timely grants, material and service support to groups/organisations in the face of adversity.
Every step we took was a stride toward a world where everyone enjoys equality and opportunity. Thank you to everyone who ran, cheered, supported, and believed in us!
Together, we're not just running for our own personal best; we're running for a more equal and inclusive future for all.
"Having a race position is merely to prove we all can finish our small target. Rather, we are to race with our own selves. We live up to ourselves because we are making a change and improving today compared with my yesterday self. To finish this race and get support from members of the Virtuous Lady Club made me proud. I hope this year more and more members will participate in our programme, allowing more women to stand up for themselves."
— Silver, Member of Virtuous Lady Club, 10km Community Runners
Thank you FedEx - our GENDER SPRINTER Sponsor, for supporting our community runners to run further for gender equality!
