The number bib and timing chip collection for the 2026 Sands China Macao International 10K begins today at the Olympic Sports Centre’s Indoor Pavilion in Taipa, according to a statement by the Sports Bureau (ID) yesterday.
The race, organised by the bureau, integrated resort operator Sands China Ltd and the General Association of Athletics of Macau (AGAM), will take place this Sunday.
The 10K race will start at 7 a.m., followed by the Fun Run at 7:40 a.m. from Sai Van Lake Square. Both races will finish inside the Macau Olympic Sports Centre Stadium.
According to the statement, participants can collect their number bib, timing chip and race notes between 12 p.m. and 9 p.m. from today to Friday, as well as between 12 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Saturday, by presenting their registration receipt and identification document.
The statement pointed out that those unable to collect their materials in person may authorise another person to do so on their behalf, noting that the authorised individual must present their own identification document, the participant’s registration receipt bearing the authorised individual’s signature and a copy of the participant’s identification document.
Meanwhile, the “Sands 10K Presents: The FUNkiest Costume Award” will be open to runners in both the 10K and Fun Run categories under the theme “East Meets West Run”, encouraging participants to incorporate Chinese and Western cultural elements into their costumes, such as traditional Chinese and Portuguese attire or other European-inspired styles reflecting Sands China’s integrated resort properties.
The statement noted that participants wishing to compete for the award must submit their details through the event’s mobile app and upload a photo wearing their themed costume together with their race bib between 9 a.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. on race day, adding that runners must complete the race in the registered costume to qualify.
Ten winners will be selected after the race, with each given various prizes including food and beverage coupons.
