| 'The beat of a different runner' |
|
Since
it's beginnings, the Standard Chartered Marathon has been constantly
striving to be both inclusive and international. This is not
an event for professional competitors only, nor is it an event
designed exclusively for Hong Kong residents and a Hong Kong
audience. Nothing underlines the inclusive nature of the Marathon
better than the story of a friendship - a friendship based on
responsiveness, trust and courage.
'Boulanger's strategy was to push Wong to achieve a pace which
would enable him to finish the 10km run in approximately 90
minutes. And they were well on their way to achieving that goal
when Wong twisted his ankle.'
Boulanger is an athlete. He began running seriously during
an earlier career in the Australian army. Wong has been totally
blind since birth. ….
