Deputy Commissioner (Management) Fung Siu-yuen was on hand to cheer on Force runners, while New Territories North Regional Commander Cheung Siu-wah held the Torch and led the runners throughout the 3.5-km trail along the Shing Mun River on a sunny and breezy day.
The seven disciplined forces participating in the run raised a total of $1.35 million for the Hong Kong Special Olympics. Of this sum, the Force accounted for more than $470,000.
The Information Systems Wing clinched the fund-raising formation championship, followed by Personnel Wing and New Territories North Regional Headquarters as first and second runners-up respectively. In the individual sponsor category, the second place went to Chief Inspector Chan Ngai-yu.
The Hong Kong Special Olympics has extended appreciation to the Hong Kong Police Voluntary Service Team for sending over 100 volunteers to provide logistic support during the run.
