The organiser's page, entry by entry

Each block below quotes the official wording; blocks marked “My note” are my own additions for Year 1 families, not the organiser's text.

1. Mandatory: 2026 Terry Fox Run Chaperone Dismissal Form

All parents must complete these two steps before the run:

1. Complete Google Form linked above to inform us if a chaperone will be joining your child for the run as well as any dismissal changes.

2. Add any dismissal changes through the ESF Hub app.
Original English wording
My noteBoth steps must be done before run day: fill in the Google Form (whether a chaperone is joining, plus any dismissal changes), then submit any dismissal changes through the ESF Hub app. The school marks this as mandatory.

2. Run Day Reminders

  • All students will be encouraged to hydrate before and after the run and to leave their water bottles and snack boxes at school so they can focus on the run.
  • Years 1 and 2 will run/walk the 1 km route with a chaperone.
  • Year 3 will participate in the 3 km run challenge with a chaperone or on their own.
  • Years 4-6 will participate in the 3 km or 6km run challenge with a chaperone or on their own. They will help make their decisions based on the distances discussed in PE.
  • For Y3-6 runners, there will be refill stations at the 3k and 6k turnarounds. Students will use their collapsible cups.
  • New collapsible cups will be given to all new students and all Year 3 students. All other students were given cups last year. Replacements may be purchased via shirt order form or on run day if needed.
  • There will be RCHK staff directing the way for all runners/walkers.
Original English wording
My noteOnly two points matter for Year 1: they walk or run the 1 km route together with Year 2 and need a chaperone, and new students receive a free collapsible cup. Water bottles and snack boxes stay at school.

3. MPP Assembly – How to Enter

Parents, please lineup along the MTR ramp and wall leading to the MPP. We will enter the MPP using the side entrance on Hang Kin Street. The MTR gate will be closed at this time.
Original English wording
My noteDo not go up through the MTR concourse: queue along the MTR ramp and the wall, then enter the MPP through the side entrance on Hang Kin Street. The MTR gate is closed during that window.
See the mapHow to enter the MPP

4. MPP Assembly – Where to Stand

On the MPP, please stand in the designated areas (purple boxes on the map). Please do not block the entrance gates X. If possible, try to stand closer to your child's year level.
Original English wording
My noteThe purple boxes on the map are the parents' standing areas: one for Year 1 and 2 parents near the students' entrance, one for Year 1–3 parents, and one for Year 4–6 parents. The red X marks are gates — keep them clear. The stage is on the other side, and the Year 1 and 2 area sits near where students and teachers come in.

5. After Run: Food, Games, Performances

From 1:40-2:40 there will be snacks, games, and performances on the basketball court and in the PAC. There will be fresh popcorn, fruit snacks and fruit juice! Everything is $10. Payment options: Cash, Octopus, Alipay, WeChat Pay
Original English wording
My noteEverything costs $10, payable by cash, Octopus, Alipay or WeChat Pay. Popcorn needs a container, so send a reusable box labelled with your child's name and class.
See the original posterAfter run food games performances

6. Run Day Dismissal

Please input any dismissal changes BEFORE run day. This will help us manage the large number of dismissal changes.

At 2:45, a bell will ring.

All music, games, and food sales will stop.

All Year 1-6 students will return to classrooms.

All parents and chaperones will stay downstairs.

All staff will help “sweep” students upstairs as if it was the end of lunch or recess on a typical day. Thank you for helping us send all students upstairs.

For those families who have indicated through the ESF Hub app that their children will have an early dismissal, they will check out at the tables at the top of the MTR steps.

After all remaining students have returned to their classrooms and been accounted for, teachers and EAs will then bring students downstairs and proceed with usual 3pm dismissal.
Original English wording
My noteThe key point: dismissal changes must be submitted before run day, through the ESF Hub app. After the 2:45 bell, parents do not go upstairs — staff lead the children back to class. Families leaving early check out at the tables at the top of the MTR steps; everyone else follows the usual 3:00 dismissal.

7. What Your Child Needs on Run Day

New cups will be given to all new students and all Year 3 students. All other students were given cups last year. Replacements may be purchased via shirt order form or on run day if needed.
  • Reusable container for popcorn (labeled with your child’s name and class)
  • Terry Fox shirt or PE shirt
  • Collapsible cup
  • Cash or Octopus card
  • Alipay and Wechat pay will also be accepted
Original English wording
My noteYear 1 students new to the school receive a collapsible cup free of charge; children wear a Terry Fox shirt or PE shirt. Label the popcorn box with your child's name and class.
