Organized by Caritas Macau and co-hosted by the University of Macau, the “2026 Caritas Macau Charity Run” kicked off on the morning of 11 October at the University of Macau. This year saw the enthusiastic participation of 2,400 runners, alongside teams formed by 55 enterprises and organizations.

The Charity Run featured multiple categories: from the 10km Challenge Run and the mixed-gender relay race, to the lighter 5km Health Run and the 1.6km Inclusion Run. It also introduced the inaugural Online Run, enabling participants to run for charity anytime, anywhere.

The organizer indicated that the event has raised at least MOP790,000, including donations and registration fees. All proceeds will be fully allocated to the development of Caritas social enterprises.

This year’s Charity Run holds special significance, as it not only celebrates the 75th anniversary of Caritas Macau’s founding, but also marks the milestone 10th edition of the event.

Paul Pun Chi Meng, Director-General of Caritas Macau, stated that over the past nine years, the event has raised more than MOP4 million. Part of these funds were used to construct a future home for the elderly, while another portion was allocated to promote non-subsidized projects.

At the end of the event, various awards were presented. In addition to the top three male and female runners in the 10km Challenge Run, the Bank of China Macau once again won the “Most Popular Award”, while the ” 100-Person Team Award” was claimed by Melco Resorts & Entertainment.
