Bracing the rains brought by typhoon "HIGOS", a total of 143 runners from various Formations of New Territories South (NTS) Region took part in the NTS Fun Run 2008 on October 4 to vie for awards for various age and rank groups.

After a well-known race organiser in Hong Kong, Mr Li Ho-tung, started the race, the runners ran along a 6.5-km route covering the hilly section round the scenic Shing Mun Reservoir. Eventually, Police Constable Cheung Chi-hung from Airport Security Unit came up with a lightning speed and won the race, setting a record of 24'04" for the new route.

In the ladies' group, Woman Police Constable Chan Yeuk-lam from Police Tactical Unit 'A' Company was the first to reach the finish line, setting a record of 30'03".

In the group for civilian officers, Chan Shun-bor, a cook from Lantau District, clinched the championship at 27'14". In the group for superintendent and above ranks, Regional Commander NTS Tse Shu-chun took the first place.

Inspector Ng Tsz-fai from Airport District and Woman Inspector Lee Wing-kam from Sha Tin District captured the fastest Inspector and Woman Inspector titles in the race.

In the contest among Formations, Tsuen Wan District retained the title of Formation Champion, while Airport District ranked as Champion of Minor Formation.

The race concluded with Mr Tse thanking the Auxiliary Medical Service, the Police Football Referee's Club, the organising committee and all the participants for their valuable contributions to making the event successful.
