Travelling in Hong Kong is a delightful experience, with its overwhelming cluster of soaring skyscrapers that create a paradise of neon lights at night. The tightly packed sidewalks, steam-filled canteens and the bustle of the crowd all form a perfect combination for a city of vibrancy. Located on China's south coast surrounded by Pearl River Delta and South China Sea, the metropolis is popular for its deep natural harbour and expansive skyline. The spectacular harbour vistas offer the best of sightseeing whilst the city is abundant with shopping centres and entertainment. This well organized and absolutely safe city is simply amazing to say the least.
Since its origin in 1997, the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon has been growing strong year by year, breaking its record of entries each year. At present, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government consider it as a "Brand Hong Kong Event" as it has become a signature sporting event internationally.
The event is committed to community service and this time around, for the convenience of benefactors from all around the world an online donation programme has been launched to replace the traditional channel of mailing.
The marathon expo is arranged to take place at the Victoria Park, Causeway Bay on the 12th & 13th of February 2011. All the runners in this marathon are usually extremely enthusiastic to perform to the best of their ability. Since practicing under the guidance of a professional is the smartest way for improving your skill, a Marathon clinic has been set up to boost the performance of its participants and it has drawn almost 300 runners eager to attain physical fitness.
The full marathon will start at Tsim Tsa Shui and stretch all the way to Tsing Ma Bridge, Cheung Tsing tunnel and through Western Harbour Tunnel to finish at Victoria Park, Causeway Bay. The travellers to the city interested in witnessing this exciting event can stay at a fine Hong Kong hotel providing all the necessities. Cosmo Hotel with easy access to Causeway Bay, boasts the possession of the best Serviced Apartments Hong Kong has to offer. The dynamic modern designs enhance the allure of the stylish interior of this hotel promising you an exceptional stay.
