Get ready for one of Hong Kongโs most unique and delicious races! The Pici Pasta Run is returning on 20 October, 2024, offering participants the chance to race across the city, all for a great cause. With both 5KM and 10KM routes to choose from, the event welcomes seasoned runners, casual joggers, and even those who just want an excuse to wear a costume. The 10KM course kicks off at Pici Kennedy Town, with runners starting in waves from 9:30am, while those opting for the 5KM route will begin at Harbour Fun Restaurant & Bar in Causeway Bay at 10am. Both routes will lead participants along scenic paths, ending at Pici Taikoo Place in Quarry Bay, where a pasta feast and well-deserved drinks await every finisher. The event celebrates fun, so costumes are highly encouraged โ prizes will be awarded for the best outfits, turning the streets into a display of imagination.
But itโs not just about the run or even the pasta (as much as we love both). This yearโs event marks the 10th anniversary of Pirata Group, Piciโs parent company, making it a special occasion for one of Hong Kongโs most beloved hospitality groups. The Pasta Runโs ongoing commitment to charity is a major part of its charm, with all registration fees being donated to Mind HK, a local mental health charity dedicated to improving access to support and removing the stigma surrounding mental health issues. In line with Mental Health Food Week, the event directly supports Mind HKโs iACT services, providing free psychological care to those in need across the city.
For just HKD200 per person (early bird registration), you can secure your spot in the run and help support a vital cause. And if youโre bringing the family, kids under 12 run for free! Whatโs in it for you? Beyond the thrill of crossing the finish line (and maybe snagging that coveted costume prize), every runner will be treated to a medal, exclusive Pici souvenirs, and, of course, a hearty meal of Piciโs handmade pasta, paired with refreshing drinks to top off your achievement. Plus, itโs not just about the run or the pasta โ this event is all about community, creativity, and supporting a great cause.
