Welcome to the 7th "Beat the Banana!" charity run 2012

"Beat the Banana!" Charity Run is a signature event held annually by World Cancer Research Fund Hong Kong (WCRF HK). The Run sees participants chase a life-sized banana with the aim of beating it across the finish line. The event helps promote the importance of physical activity and a healthy diet in reducing the risk of cancer in a fun and light-hearted way.

The 7th "Beat the Banana!" Charity Run will take place on Sunday, 4 March 2012 along the Tsimshatsui East Promenade.
