Harbour Runners was co-founded by several like-minded individuals in late 2010 in Hong Kong. Running at night was unusual in the early 2010s. An important cornerstone from day one for HR was that is would be community-driven and through the leadership of rotating captains, it would serve as an open platform for alternative running ideas and explorations. The initial routes were designed to hug around Hong Kong’s deep sheltered harbour to remind ourselves how important it is to the city. The routes have since evolved to another cornerstone of HR, to use the #cityasourplayground to unlock and explore different parts of the city.
