Virtual Race
A "Walk Up Jardine House" Boost Up Station will be set up in the offices of participating companies. Each booth is fitted-out with a stepper to calculate the accumulated number of steps, as well as a tablet to spread mental health information.
Within the 2-week race period, participants are required to step on the stepper, and confirm their identity by inputting their emails then to get a confirmation code. Input the code on the tablet interface before pressing ‘Start’. All steps will count towards the final score of their respective companies to compete in the ‘Corporate Challenge’ category.
Every 947 steps completed by a participant is equivalent to accomplishing 1 Jardine House. If you wish to pause halfway through the race period, the number of steps will still count towards the final score.
The official race time operating hours each day is from 8am to 8pm. All steps accumulated outside official race hours will not be visible nor counted, but the use of the machine’s hardware would not be affected.
Please maintain good personal hygiene and adopt an appropriate speed in the race. Pay attention to your health and safety.
Winners of each race are the top 3 runners / companies with the highest recorded number of steps in each category.

Each team is provided with a relay baton. The baton must be carried by team members during the race and passed to the next member at the check points on the 10th, 20th, 30th and 40th floors.
The time when the last member of each team carrying the baton reaches the finish point will be recorded as the team’s overall time.
Teams ending the race without the relay baton will be disqualified.
Upon passing the baton, runners should exit the stairway via the service lift for transfer to the ground floor.
