Social Enterprises Off and Running：Run for a Better Society

How can running be transformed into a social enterprise (SE)? How does FOODSPORT run exactly?

Former hockey player Healthy WONG was unable to represent Hong Kong in his retirement match due to injury, which became a regret in his life. Despite this, his enthusiasm for sports has never faded. He came up with the idea of starting an SE at that time, so he began to assist commercial organisations in designing sports training activities for employees, while holding free public events regularly with the concept of “running together”. FOODSPORT converts calories burnt by participants during vigorous exercise into food, then donates it to disadvantaged groups, making the events spirited and healthy.

In this episode, guest artist Raymond WONG participates in a community run organised by FOODSPORT. As the name suggested, the event allows participants to get to know the community while running, as well as donating calories; therefore, the run actually brings multiple benefits. Raymond has been undergoing triathlon training in recent years, and his strong physique is a perfect fit for the theme of this episode. He will lead the audience to understand how Healthy runs to make his SE bloom, and talk to Healthy about life during the run.
