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.

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

"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.
