A total of 1,634 runners turned out for the Dowman Road Race held at Pak Tam Chung Sai Kung on February 16, while many supporters gathered at the finishing point to show their support for the runners. Following the keenly contested race, Commissioner Tsang Wai-hung presented trophies to the winners as guest of honour. This year's race saw two new records set and runners' great passion for the annual event. The winner of "Men's Master I", Police Constable Lai Hok-yan of Operations Wing broke the record of 46 minutes 9 seconds, and finished the race with a notable new record of 42 minutes 46 seconds. Sergeant Leung Yat won the title of "Men's Master II" with a new record of 46 minutes 28 seconds.

New Territories North Regional Headquarters and Operations Wing took the first place of the Formation Relay and Ladies Relay respectively. The title of "Fastest Directorate Officer" once again went to Kwun Tong District Commander Chau Cho-kei, while Assistant Commissioner Michael Cartwright captured the title of "Most Senior Age Disciplined Officer Completing the Course". The Chairman of the Police Athletics Club, Chief Superintendent Cheng Kwok-hung, thanked helpers from Police Football Referee Club, Police College, PTU and Auxiliary Medical Service, as well as individual volunteers for their unfailing support and assistance for the event.
