WCRF HK is excited to bring you news of its 2nd Beat the Banana! Run – to be held on Sunday 28 January 2007 on Tsimshatsui East Promenade. The aim of the run is to convey our vital health message of cancer prevention to the people of Hong Kong in a fun and light-hearted way. Funds raised will help support WCRF HK’s health and education programmes.

Having a healthy body weight is a critical component in fighting chronic illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. It is common for people to associate weight loss with exercising more. But exercise is not everything. The key to successful weight loss lies in eating healthier as well as exercising more.

Through the Beat the Banana! event, this very positive message will be delivered by setting the general public the challenge to chase and beat our very own life-sized running banana. Prizes and trophies will be awarded to the first three male and female finishers as well as those three runners who raise the most funds. All entrants will receive a race T-shirt, a finisher’s medal and a goody bag filled with heartful treats. MIX, Hong Kong's only all-natural Juice and Smoothee Cafe, is the co-organiser of this event and will be offering fruity refreshments for all participants.
