Hong Kong authorities are considering expanding the annual marathon to enhance public engagement and attract more tourists. Secretary Rosanna Law indicated a willingness to explore new routes that allow residents to cheer on runners with local treats like egg waffles and milk tea. The government is also contemplating turning the marathon into a two-day event to accommodate more participants and boost the economy. Currently, the marathon has a cap of 74,000 participants, leaving many disappointed, while a record 25% of this year's runners were from outside Hong Kong.
