Runners power on as rivals drop

The Sahara has claimed one in 10 of the competitors in the Marathon des Sables (Marathon of the Sands), but all five members of the Hong Kong team are still in the running.

Mabel Au-Yeung Wai-man, Senior Inspector Carol Cheng Mei-lin, former chief inspector Chris Hanselman, Inspector Mark Sharp and Inspector Justin Shave made it through the 76-kilometre overnight section they had been dreading.

With hopes of raising $2 million for the Society for the Promotion of Hospice Care, the team has about 67 kilometres to complete of the 240-kilometre marathon.

Anyone wanting to contribute should make cheques payable to SPHC Ltd, marked 'Sahara Race for Hospice' on the back and send them to: 1832 Swire House, 11 Chater Road, Central.
