The Guia Circuit, the world-famous street circuit for the Macau Grand Prix, was closed for a few hours yesterday, not for the annual motor-racing contest but for a fun run where nearly 2,000 people ran around the 6.2 kilometre track.
The fun run, organised by the Macau Grand Prix Organising Committee (MGPOC), was part of a string of activities to mark the 65th Macau Grand Prix which will take place from Thursday to Sunday.
It was the first time that the street circuit was open for such an event, giving locals an opportunity to experience running round Reservoir Bend, Mandarin Bend and Lisboa Bend, as well as the Matsuya section of the track.
