Barefoot Green Run 2019

This year’s event will feature 3 separate races, namely 2km Easy/ Family Run, 3km Fun Run and 7km Heat Challenge.

Easy/ Family Run will be an easy task for beginners, and it will be very suitable for families, especially children. Attractive English scholarships will be granted to outstanding child participants.

Fun Run will offer the opportunity to white-collar workers to challenge themselves. Souvenir medals made from recycled products and running kits will be given to the runners after they finish the race. 

Heat Challenge, the most challenging race at the event, will be very inviting to those who are interested in personal fitness and have secured their physical strength. However, it is not easy to overcome the challenge because the participants will be required to run without footwear, bring one empty biodegradable cup of water with them, and only receive water at the points of 1.75km and 6km along their running way.

In addition, once they finish the race, the contestants have to place the cup of water into the designed collection area in line with the meaningful spirit “Be a Green Runner” of the competition.
