Jing An Shangri-La, West Shanghai, which offers guests the
ideal place to soak in the city view of the downtown business centre and beyond
from the top of Shanghai, turns into a venue for a unique charity event in the
form of a vertical fun run, held on 14 October 2017.
309 runners conquered 1,625 steps to
reach the finish line at level 60. The event continued as a Jing An
Shangri-La, West Shanghai corporate social responsibility tradition and donated a
total of RMB 99,000 to Children’s Medical Centre. A male runner from China stole the show, setting a new record for the vertical
fun run with a time of 8 minutes and 55 seconds.
All proceeds
donated to the Shanghai Children’s Medical Centre will assist with the medical
treatment of underprivileged children. In addition to the charity benefit, Jing An
Shangri-La, West Shanghai hopes to promote a healthy and positive lifestyle
through this event. The stresses of big city urban living demands that we spend
most of our time and energy at work, neglecting healthy living habits like
proper nutrition, sleep and exercise. Climb for Hope Vertical Fun Run presents
a light-hearted and fun approach to exercise, bringing together families and the
community to climb together.
Participants this year came from the public and
participating partner communities – CEO Roundtable on Cancer-China and Jing An
Kerry Centre. All were welcome to
participate, as amateur and elite runners all climbed together for a good cause.
Everyone was a winner, with each receiving a congratulatory
completion medal presented at the finishing line.
