The event is jointly organised by the bureau, title-sponsor Sands China Ltd. and General Association of Athletics of Macau (AGAM), with expenses borne by the integrated resort operator, according to the statement.
Event details were announced during a press conference yesterday at The Londoner Macao, the statement said, during which Sports Bureau President Pun Weng Kun remarked that with the cooperation of the organisers, the event will be even more successful with more distinctive features, thus making the event, which has always been popular among local and overseas long-distance running enthusiasts, become another representative sporting event in the city.
Sands China President and Executive Director Wilfred Wong Ying-wai said as Macau’s tourism industry recovered rapidly last year, it is hoped that the event can mark another success for Macau and attract athletes from all over the world.
