About Official Registration Fee Sponsorship

Last update: 15 Sep 2025

To be eligible for the sponsorship, please confirm your participation at the starting line on race day. Please provide the official certificate issued by the organiser on or before April 30, 2026, which should clearly display your name, Bib No., and race result for the reimbursement process.

The subsidy will only be granted to HKBU staff, students and alumni. 

If you have already graduated, you will not be eligible for 100% sponsorship as a student, but you are still eligible for 50% sponsorship as an alumnus. If you have left your job on the event date, you will not be eligible for sponsorship as a staff member.

If you fulfil the requirements for obtaining the sponsorship (which will be announced later), the entry fee sponsorship will be reimbursed through bank transfer. The arrangements of the reimbursement are as follows:

Staff: reimburse through your payroll account.

Students: reimburse through the bank account you provide in the BUniPort system. Exchange students will be individually arranged.

Alumni: reimburse through the bank account provided by you.

Please click here to provide or update your local bank account information in the BUniPort.

Please provide your bank account information when you fill in the online registration form to join the HKBU Marathon Team.

No, the account holder must be the alumnus himself/ herself. If the information does not match, the bank reserves the right to reject the transfer request of the University, resulting in the delay or cancellation of the reimbursement. 

We will reimburse the entry fee sponsorship through bank transfer. If you do not have or cannot provide the information of a Hong Kong bank account, we will be unable to reimburse the entry fee sponsorship.
