Starting Point
When we arrived the starting point, we have
noticed an edge case scenario when the main
sport ground was temporary closed.
Junction of pavement and cycling

We found these spots are the junction point and will need
to have volunteers to help guiding parkrunners to the
correct direction.
Creating questions
Now its time to create an interview guide to prepare for your conversations. Its best to create your
guide in teams of two or three people. Youll likely need more space than this worksheet, so use your

General Healthy Lifestyle
Regarding the weekend activity, sports/exercise/hiking occupies 22%,
while other leisure, idling or rest occupies 48%, and
family/dating/friends take up another 13%.

This survey shows the pool from idling/rest and family/dating/friends

takes up 61%, which would be the potential group for improving healthy
lifestyle on the weekend.

Among the 162 responses, 34% consider their health status as healthy and 87% as neutral or above.

Responses 45 (28%) 77 (48%) 33 (20%) 7 (4%)

Out of the 100 (62%) people who like running, 76% usually run more than 30 minutes. Among those
who do not like running, knee injuries and feel boring are the two major reasons.
Preference of Run
If you run, do you prefer to run individually or in a group? Group Running Individual Running

Responses 55 (34%) 107 (66%)

People see health (123), body building

(106) and happiness (62) as the major
reasons to run.
Regarding the attitude of running, over 78% people agree that running is for
themselves, free and spontaneous. Running as a community also accounts for
42% recognition of HK people.
Survey Conclusion
About the participation preference of free regular run, 33% out of 162 people will join it.

From the survey, we can conclude that the majority group of people (53%) have neutral attitude
towards their healthiness. Meanwhile, they regard exercise/sports, balanced diets and rest as the
most important elements for healthy lifestyle. This reflects that general people are lack of these
elements in their daily life.

About the regularity of sports/exercises, 28% of people have physical exercises less than once on
average. For those run lovers (62%), most of them run from 30 - 60 minutes per run. This sets the
preferred standard of running habit in Hong Kong.

To increase the running desire, health, body building and happiness are the key factors. The
survey also shows that general public disagree that running should be in very competitive
purpose but individual purpose. Running should be free, spontaneous and can act as a function
of community connection. Running is also a way to spread the message of peace and love.
Interview
After sending out the online survey, our team has also
conducted a guerrilla research. We went to the specific
site and talk to the people in that area. Such as regular
runners, nearby residents and stadium guards, in order
to get more perspectives when creating this regular
sports event.
