Youth Run Ventures: Taichung Exchange Tour | 19 Students Won 10 Awards in the 2025 Shengang Marathon
Youth Run Ventures, supported by Allan & Gill Gray Philanthropies and organised by InspiringHK Sports Foundation, provides running training and overseas competition opportunities for underprivileged youth to unleash their potential through sports.
In March 2025, students from Youth Run Ventures were honoured to participate in a three-day exchange trip to Taichung for the 9.5km challenge category of a charity marathon in the Shengang District. 19 exceptional students, selected through rigorous internal trials conducted earlier this year, underwent a month of intensive training to prepare for this exchange. Their hard work and dedication paid off as they delivered an outstanding performance, securing an impressive total of 10 awards.
During the trip, they also had the privilege of engaging in in-depth discussions with Mr. Cliff Chiang, a renowned trail runner from Taichung, gaining invaluable insights into professional running techniques. Additionally, the training sessions conducted during the trip provided participants with the opportunity to experience unique training methods and immerse themselves in a different cultural atmosphere
This trip not only enhanced our students’ long-distance running skills but also broadened their horizons, making it a truly unforgettable journey of learning and personal growth.
