“Becoming a run leader lets me gain experience, expand knowledge, recognize my shortcomings, and learn from runners of different ages. Teaching and learning go hand in hand. Through this role, I hope to build confidence and improve communication skills — not only with fellow runners but also among leaders as we learn to collaborate and build team spirit. Running releases endorphins that ease negative emotions; bringing that happiness to others is something I truly want to do. Going forward, I will keep a lifelong learning mindset to deepen my understanding of sports and share knowledge with others. Through a relaxed atmosphere, I hope to promote healthy and happy living and spread positive energy across Hong Kong. I will also set goals for our runners so they can keep improving with each session. Beyond joy and well-being, I hope our members can progress to joining races — and one day, maybe even compete overseas as a team!”

“With my limited ability, I want to bring together people who rarely exercise, help them find time to run, and discover the fun of running until it becomes a habit — and a source of health and happiness. I hope the group operates smoothly, with more and more participants joining and enjoying the experience. After each session, I reflect and communicate with leaders from other groups to see what we can improve, ensuring our future activities run even better.”

“Welcome to our _TKO Dash Squad_ , a place overflowing with endorphins! We’ll run that first step with you, stay by your side as you keep going, and accompany you on every mile ahead.”

“I’ve been running for over ten years, mostly alone or in training groups. This year, I joined the fifth Run Leader Workshop under RunOurCity and met a group of enthusiastic runners from Sham Shui Po. Together, we share a common belief — to bring the joy of running to our community. The knowledge and skills I gained gave me confidence to become a run leader for ‘Sparkling Spirit Pulse’. Our first goal was to lead everyone to the base of Stonecutters Bridge for a group photo. Each week, our five run leaders observe members’ conditions, adjust routes and distances, and gradually enhance training through games. After six sessions, most runners have become close friends, we’re now like a big family.”

“Through the programme, I became a run leader and founded a sustained, free fitness platform to promote running and bring health and happiness to others — something I’ve always wanted to do. In our two-hour group runs, I hope to help teammates build confidence and improve their abilities. As members progress, I also keep learning, joining courses and reading to grow with them. Looking ahead, I hope more runners of different backgrounds will join, connect, and motivate each other toward growth, health, and happiness.”
