The annual Sedan Chair Race is the main fundraising event of the Sedan Chair Charities Fund. It consists of teams carrying sedan chairs racing around the Peak on a route (2.1km for both courses), starting from The Matilda International Hospital. Teams from a broad cross-section of Hong Kong – corporations, associations, clubs and schools – are all welcome to join the Race.
Our aim is to raise money for needy charities in Hong Kong mainly through our annual October Sedan Chair Race and Bazaar, supported by over 50 running teams and 3,000 visitors. The fund raised go to support charitable organisations that generally do not receive assistance from the Hong Kong Community Chest, Hong Kong Jockey Club or the Government – none go to the Matilda International Hospital.
