Costume award to enhance the atmosphere of the event

The popular ‘Sands 10K Presents: The FUNkiest Costume Award’ will be held again this year and is open to participants of both the 10K and Fun Run. Themed ‘Ocean Run’, the award this year encourages runners to integrate oceanic elements into their costume, such as dressing up as a marine organism or in an oceanic-themed costume, with a view to motivating runners to contribute to marine environment protection and biodiversity.

Participants can compete for the award by filling in their information via the mobile app and uploading a photo of themselves wearing a costume that matches this year’s theme of ‘Ocean Run’ and their number bib from 9 a.m. on 15 March to 9 a.m. on 16 March. Participants must complete the race in their registered costume on the race day to be eligible for the award. Ten winners/teams will be selected after the race and each will be awarded a prize of dining voucher.

Participants are reminded to carefully read the regulations and related information, understand the racecourse, and are advised to prepare and practice for the event based on their own physical conditions.  For more information, please visit the event’s official website at www.macao10k.com or the ‘Macao 10K’ mobile app, or follow the ‘Macao Major Sporting Events’ Facebook page, ‘澳門體育’ (Macao Sports) WeChat public account and ‘澳門特區體育局’ (Macao SAR Sports Bureau) WeChat subscription account.
