To raise public interest in learning about and appreciating the built heritage of Hong Kong as they exercise, the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) of Development Bureau and “Kai Tak Sports Initiative”, Community Project of Kai Tak Sports Park have joint hands to launch the “Heritage Run” since September 2022. The heritage run received warm support from respective district offices. We encourage sportsmen, citizens and tourists to learn about our rich local history and heritage while running or strolling.

“Heritage Run” has been launched in Kowloon City, Central and Western, Kwai Tsing and Tsuen Wan, Yau Tsim Mong, Eastern and Shatin and will continue to extend to other districts to encourage the public to visit the built heritage in districts while exercising.

Below are the declared monuments, graded buildings, government historic sites identified by AMO, archaeological display and museum along the routes of the heritage run held before / being held for reference:
