The idea of “CAN RUN” originated from the food banks on the island at Zheng Sheng College where “CAN food” is required to feed their students and staff under extreme weather conditions, when no public transportation is available to replenish their food supply. The word “CAN” represents both “CAN” food as well as Trailblazer’s belief that everybody “CAN” RUN!
Inspired by the Barkley Marathons, one of the most challenging ultra trail races in the world, we have incorporated some of the Barkley Marathons’ features into the CAN RUN, such as collecting book pages. We also add in local feature such as carrying a “CAN food” from the starting line all through the race to the finish line, etc.
CAN RUN 的啟發來自被喻為史上難度極高、成功完成率極低的美國超馬越野賽 The Barkley Marathons 巴克利馬拉松，採納的元素包括：
比賽需收集書頁，完成指定“任務”
加上本地特色 - 每名參加者必須捐出並攜帶至少 1 罐罐頭進行賽事至終點
Following last year’s zealous CAN RUN 2018 to support Christian Zheng Sheng College, let us join hands again this year to build a “can hill” with love and power!
2019年希望延續大家對 CAN RUN 的熱情和對受惠團體基督教正生書院的支持 — 今年座 “罐頭山” 點少得你/妳嗰罐！
