Led by Professor Horace Ip, Vice President (Student Affairs), CityU EIM-OC Task Force was launched in 2016, to coordinate the efforts towards the Gold level designation. The task force encourages on-going endeavours such as health talks, physical fitness courses and activities, as well as health and fitness assessments.

With the collaborative efforts from CityU staff, students and alumni, CityU has won Silver Campus Awards in 2017 and 2019 and a Gold Campus Award in 2020. The award highlights how CityU fosters physical activity as a vital sign of health and encourages the campus community to work together to improve health and well-being. This aspiration matches the advocacy of the “One Health” concept at CityU.

“Sports for All” is a year-round programme with the aims to promote physical exercise, cultivate exercise habits, as well as to develop individual sports potential among the CityU Community. Different levels of workshops for various sports, including dragon boat, fitness and wellness, karate and rackets sports, are organised to cater to the needs of participants.

CityU also encourages the CityU Community to join the large-scale sports events, such as the establishment of the Delegation to participate in different levels of the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon every year.
