TWGHs endeavours to promote a healthy lifestyle among persons with intellectual disabilities (PID) and has organised the “iRun – Hong Kong Special Marathon” since 2011. Since then, long‑distance training sessions have been provided for participants and their paired runners, whose enthusiasm has been evident. Consequently, the “TWGHs iRunners’ Club” was established to bring together PIDs interested in distance running and healthy living, while also providing a platform to connect them with the wider community in pursuit of social inclusion.
- To provide practice sessions and professional trainings to the iRunners’ Club members;
- To improve the members’knowledge of health and their sport performance;
- To build up relations among the members and the community through regular practices;
- To enhance the communication and to build up a network among the members, organizations and the community to promote a healthy lifestyle
All people with intellectual disabilities (PID) and Hong Kong citizens are welcome and free to join as member or pair-up runner.:
a) Member: PID aged 18 or above can register through their rehabilitation organizations
b) Pair-up runner: Hong Kong citizens aged 18 or above who are interested in practicing with PID
