HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 5 April 2023 - Goodman is excited to announce the return of the Goodman Magic Mile Charity Run, which will take place on Sunday, 7 May 2023, at the brand new sustainable Goodman Westlink logistics facility in Tuen Mun. In partnership with Habitat for Humanity Hong Kong ('Habitat'), the Goodman Magic Mile aims to raise funds for Habitat's 'Project Home Works' program, which enhances the living conditions of vulnerable families, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities in Hong Kong.

Participants can choose from three races:

  • Magic Mile Classic: A one-mile run or walk up Goodman Westlink's cargo ramp which is open to everyone
  • Magic Mile Challenge: A four-mile race requiring competitors to run four laps of the ramp
  • Obstacle race: A family-friendly challenge for adult and child pairs that involves a 60-meter obstacle course over reusable and recycled items
"In Hong Kong,1.65 million people live below the poverty line and hundreds of thousands of people are living in unhealthy and cramped conditions," Jo Hayes, Chief Executive Officer, Habitat for Humanity Hong Kong said. "We are honoured to partner with Goodman to raise awareness and funds through the Goodman Magic Mile Charity Run. We believe everyone deserves a decent place to live, so everyone who contributes to this meaningful cause plays a role in building hope, dignity and self-reliance in the community. We look forward to seeing everyone at the start line in May!"

Kristoffer Harvey, CEO of Goodman Group Greater China said: "After three years, it's fantastic to be hosting the Goodman Magic Mile again – this time at our latest development, Goodman Westlink. All funds raised during the event will directly benefit Habitat's 'Project Home Works' program and the people it supports to live healthier lives. We're really happy with the response to date, and look forward to welcoming customers, corporate sponsors, colleagues, and their families back to this key community event in Hong Kong."
