LAP DOG CHALLENGE 2019
Team with most laps – Hip Hing
For the fourth year in succession the absolutely ridiculous idea of sane people running laps of an athletic track continuously for five hours took place on Saturday 2 November 2019 Hong Kong. Following the great success of Lap Dog Challenge in previous years, which raised over HK$1m per year for the Lighthouse Club Hong Kong Benevolent Fund, the event was run again in the early hours of a Saturday morning at Stanley Ho Sports Institute, Pok Fu Lam. This year we had eight teams fielding a total of 40 runners. They came from BKAsiaPacific, Dragages, Gammon, Hip Hing, ISG/Commtech, Leighton, Lighthouse Club and WT Partnership. At 7am the hooter was blown and all runners took off laughing and chatting. Some five hours later there wasn’t much laughter happening. Most were still running, some were staggering, when the hooter blew to call a close to proceedings. And, as in 2018, the boys from Hip Hing were all still going strong.
Best individual female – Christy Leung, Gammon
