HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 9 July 2021 – As the pandemic gradually calms down, though overseas vacations are impossible this summer, we can still have fun from local outdoor activities, mountain climbing and running activities. Amidst pandemic disruptions to daily lives, Cushman and Wakefield organises the “Run for Taste” virtual run race from July 17 to August 29, giving everyone a chance to enjoy running and gourmet food at the same time!
A race filled with fun and delicacies
“Run for Taste” is a one-of-its-kind virtual run event organised by the Retail Team of Cushman and Wakefield. To encourage participation from all walks of life to enjoy running, the race comes in various categories with preferences and capabilities suitable for different age groups, genders and even pets.
