This post was submitted by Zhenzhen Qi from the Hong Kong chapter.
This Fall, team up with a friend, nemesis, co-worker, significant other or even a complete stranger and match wits, strength and fund raising skills with some of Hong Kong's finest athletes in the S.A.R.'s premiere urban adventure race- the Wokai Scramble. All ticket sales and donations will go to Wokai, the first face-to-face online platform connecting rural borrowers in mainland China to microlenders worldwide.
Amaze your friends as your team of 2 races through 8 checkpoints in the vicinity of Victoria Park performing feats of strength, dazzling with razor sharp street smarts and laughing in the face of danger. Biceps will flex, hamstrings will cramp, synapses will fire at lightning speed- sweat guaranteed! Most importantly you will show that you care about combatting poverty by raising funds for struggling entrepreneurs in China so that they can build better lives for themselves, their families and communities.
Prizes will be given for the fastest, Male, Female and Mixed Teams BUT the biggest prize of all goes to the team that raises the most donations because with the help of supporters like you, Wokai will be able to continue assisting hundreds of rural borrowers in 2011. Let's pull together and beat poverty!
