The Major Sports Events Committee announced today that it has awarded “M” Mark status to the Hong Kong International Airport · Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon: Three-Runway System 10km International Race, which will be held on November 17.
 
The race is the only long-distance running event prior to the full operation of the Three-Runway System.
 
Major Sports Events Committee Wilfred Ng said: “It provides runners with the memorable experience of running on a runway with aircraft taking off and landing nearby.
 
“Like other ‘M’ Mark events, this activity will inject new vitality locally, while further solidifying Hong Kong’s status as a sports events capital.”
