About SO Charity Walk & Run 2026
The Chinese character "甦" (pronunciation: So) is formed from the words "更生," symbolising awakening and rebirth. "SO Walk" represents the journey of individuals in recovery as they rise from their mistakes and embark on a new path. Through "SO Walk," we offer understanding and unwavering support to those on the challenging road to social reintegration so that they can they can belong.
Organised by SideBySide and fully supported by The Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club, this event will take place on Saturday, 3th October 2026, in the morning at the Clearwater Bay Country Club.
Through the joy of sport, we aim to unite various sectors of the community to support the vulnerable and strengthen our connections. Fund raised will be used for the development of crime prevention education and social rehabilitation services.
