On a wet and humid Saturday morning at 8am, 278 runners toed the line on Bowen Road in the first of AVOHK’s 4 race 5K series. Turnout was at a record 85%+ from those that entered. There were 3 starts for today’s race. Ladies first at 8am sharp, with a 5 minute gap to the Juniors, followed by a further 5 minute gap to the men. Feedback was that most runners enjoyed the separate starts and the opportunity to race against their peers. Phil Booth, AVOHK’s official race announcer and starter got the runners on their way. Lau Tsun Ling (MO) was the fastest runner on the day with a very credible 17 mins and 14 secs, with Tsui Chi Kin (M35) 2nd fastest in 17 mins 34 secs and Frederic Vaudaine (M40) 3rd in 17 mins 37 secs. A good warm up for Frederic who will shortly compete in the World Masters Athletics Championships in Daegu, Korea in the Half Marathon. The fastest lady of the day was Libby Humphreys(W40) and 24th overall in a time of 19 mins 35 secs, 2nd lady was Colette Whiteoak (W35) in 20 Mins 10 secs and 3rd lady was Amie Shuttleworth-Waite (W40)in 21 mins 33 secs. Some wonderful running by the juniors, in particular Atharav Bharambe (M15) who was 10th overall in a time of 18 mins 33 out sprinting his age group rival Jayden Liu Chun Ho (M15) by 1 second. Big shout out to So Yip Sing (M80) our oldest competitor in the race. Some great individual masters results. Well done to all those that turned up today and a big thanks to Race Director, Feeman Lee and all the AVOHK club volunteers and their friends who helped put on this race. See you all in Tai Tam on 22nd August 2026 for race 2.

On a damp and cool 9th May 2026 at Bowen Road over 100 runners competed in the annual Malcolm Phillips 5km age graded race. The race is to celebrate Malcolm who passed away 20 years ago. Malcolm was a dedicated member of AVOHK and HKLRRC clubs and gave so much back to our sport. Malcolm’s lovely wife Cindy was on hand to not only present the awards but to also take part in the race. Malcolm would have been so proud of Cindy and AVOHK.
Due to restrictions runners were started in batches of 30 with a three minute interval.

AVOHK Members had a wonderful Christmas Party at Museum Cafe8 on Thursday 11th Dec 2025. A good chance to get together socially and the AVOHK Christmas Party is a well established event in the AVOHK Calendar. Apart from the delicious food provided by Melody and her team at Cafe8. We were entertained by Guitarist, Iris who put us all in a festive mood with his renditions of many Christmas favourites. It wouldn’t be an AVOHK Christmas Party without a Lucky Draw to round the evening off. Many thanks to those that donated gifts to the lucky draw and a big thank you to Phil Booth for conducting the lucky draw. A special big thank you to Elaine Hall, AVOHK Vice-Chair who co-ordinated everything to make this event happen. Thank you also to also those many members that spontaneously volunteered to help at the Road Scholars Marathon 2026 and Half Marathon on Sun 11th January 2026.
