Watsons Distilled Water We Care Run 2026

The inaugural Watsons Distilled Water We Care Run 2026 marks the 185th anniversary of A.S. Watson Group with a charity running festival on Sunday 29 November 2026 at the Hung Hom Waterfront Promenade in Kowloon. The event combines short road races with a music, activity and community carnival around Whampoa's Ship Street. Part of the entry proceeds supports local non-profit and community organisations.

Who can participate

The programme includes 10K and 5K individual races for participants aged 12 or above, a 2K family run pairing one adult aged at least 18 with one child aged 5–11, and a 5K corporate team category for teams of four adults. Individual entrants aged 12–17 require parental or guardian consent. For safety, children under five cannot enter any of the race categories. The organiser may request proof of age when checking eligibility.

Charity festival and awards

In addition to the running programme (advertised from 08:30 to 11:45 Hong Kong time), the festival includes music performances, photo opportunities, interactive booths and opportunities for charitable organisations to explain their work. The 5K and 10K individual male and female divisions award first, second and third places; the 5K corporate division and the 2K family run also have podium awards. The family event additionally recognises three best-costume entries.

Registration and race preparation

Registration closed on 27 September 2026 and the official site currently marks every advertised division as full. Do not assume places remain available through unofficial sellers. Entrants are entitled to a commemorative running top, race bib and, upon completion, a medal, electronic certificate and gift pack. Shirt-size exchanges are not offered under the published conditions. The organiser has not yet published the detailed race-pack collection schedule on its official event page; participants should look for an updated collection notice rather than assume race-day pickup.
