On 1 November, hundred of passionate runners gathered to show they should have the freedom to run. This is in response the increasing demand from police that running events need to get their approval, or can be considered as illegal assembly. This run passed by many of the signifcant landmarks in Hong Kong. Starting from a park that memorizes Sun Yat-sen, "Father of the Nation" of modern China, it continues along the coast and passed by central pier, new government building and the Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention Center, one of the major construction icons that is built when Hong Kong was under British rule.
