The participation in sports of the persons with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) has become popular in the decade. Many of them have gained victory and recognitions in local and overseas competitions. It proves that people with ID are able to unleash their talents in sports and enjoy the quality life when opportunities are available.
As Tung Wah Group of Hospitals has organized the running event of “iRun” – Hong Kong Special Marathon since 2011, it aims at encouraging the proactive sport participation among the people with ID. Throughout the event and the practices, the participants and the communities can build mutual understanding. The meaning of community inclusion has been further realized.
iRun 2026 concluded successfully, drawing an enthusiastic response with over 5,500 athletes. This year, iRun introduced the new “1km Inclusion Run”, inviting visually and hearing impaired participants, as well as those in mental health recovery, to join with partners, vividly embodying the spirit of “iRun for All.”
iRun has always actively actualised the concept of inclusion in various dimensions. Since 2018, initiatives have been introduced such as "Overseas Competitions", "Public Education", and "Inclusion with School" Programme; from 2023, 1km “Family Run” for encouraging greater family participation; and in recent years, continued promotion of the "Green Marathon", spreading positive environmental messages among participants.
