All registration fees will be donated to the Shanghai Children's Health Foundation for treatment of children from poor families. Registration will be closed on 22 September. The Race to Hong Kong ICC on December 3 will again be the grand finale of the Vertical World Circuit where elite runners from all over the world will converge on Hong Kong's tallest building International Commerce Centre to vie for top honours.
