During the 2024 Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon, a tragic incident occurred resulting in the loss of one runner's life and the hospitalization of 34 other participants due to health-related issues.

On January 21st, at approximately 12:12 PM, a 30-year-old male runner named Mr. Cheung collapsed suddenly on the platform of MTR Tin Hau Station while departing from the event. Nearby passengers quickly alerted the station personnel, who promptly reported the incident.


Emergency medical services responded swiftly to the scene and transported Mr. Cheung to Ruttonjee Hospital for immediate treatment. Despite the best efforts of the medical team, the runner's condition worsened, and he was pronounced dead.




Preliminary information suggests that Mr. Cheung may have experienced a sudden illness or physical distress following the completion of the half-marathon. However, the exact cause of his collapse and subsequent passing remains unconfirmed pending further investigation and the results of the post-mortem examination.
