Please also check the Walk Up Jardine House website for the latest information as well as the following social media on the event day.
Pre-Race Training
Staircase running is a high-intensity exercise. Runners are recommended to have enough cardio and muscle training before the race. More practices could prevent overload of the knees and leg muscles.
Do warm-up and cool-down exercises before and after your training to reduce the risk of injury and muscle pain.
Rest Well
A high-quality sleep routine can help you to recover and keep you in good shape. To ensure good performance, please take good rest one week before the race.
Balanced Diet
Carbohydrates are the most important form of fuel for exercises. The complex carbohydrates foods listed below contain abundant dietary fiber and low fats:
Whole-wheat bread
Potato
Pasta
Brown rice
Intake of protein, from skinless chicken, fish and tofu, for example, supports muscle growth and recovery. Vegetables and fruits can supplement vitamins and minerals you loss after workouts.
Last but not least, drink more water!

Safety First

Adverse Weather Conditions
The Walk Up Jardine House will be cancelled if the red or black rainstorm signal, or typhoon signal no. 3 or above, is hoisted on or before 6:00am on 29th March 2020.
The outdoor activities will be suspended if the amber rainstorm or thunderstorm is hoisted during the event. All participants should immediately go to a safe place to stay temporarily.
After careful consideration, and with the safety of the event participants, staff and working partners in mind, we have decided that the Walk Up Jardine House event will be cancelled this year.
Nevertheless, MINDSET continues in its efforts to support mental health in our community. In particular, we will join hands with Mind HK, our Strategic Partner, to stage a three-day Hong Kong Mental Health Conference on 6-8 November 2020. Please stay tuned for updates.
Thanks again for your support and understanding. We hope to see you at the race next year!
