Step Up For Lifesaving
The road to provide life-saving aid is often rough and difficult. In order to help MSF supporters in Hong Kong understand the challenges faced by field workers, who journey through some of the world's most testing environments to provide medical aid to patients in dire situations, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Hong Kong has been hosting the annual MSF orienteering competition since 2002.On March 2, 2025, "On Track to Save" will continue with the format of running competition as we did earlier this year, while the race will take place at the Hong Kong Science Park. With the new venue we aim to attract more participants to run for the people in need, shortening the distance between our frontline workers and those living in distress and providing them the urgently needed medical assistance.
The 30-year journey of humanitarian aid has not been easy, and we are grateful to have you by our side. With your support, MSF overcomes challenges along the way in order to provide healthcare to farther corners of the world at a faster speed! On the track and orienteering course, participants will experience the daily challenges faced by our team - racing against time and limitations to bring care closer to people in distress with each step they take. Let’s break through our limits, move forward courageously, and step up for lifesaving!
