What are mass participation events?

Mass participation events were first introduced in the 13th NG held in 2017 under the concept of “benefit ordinary people, make a healthy China (全運惠民,健康中國)”, with a view to providing an opportunity for the public to participate in the nation’s highest-level multi-sports event and thus promoting sports for all.


Mass participation events are divided into two categories: competition and demonstration. The competition events in the 15th NG will cover sports such as badminton, football and dragon boating, while the demonstration events will encompass health qigong, tai chi, etc.

Since the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in July 1997, Hong Kong has participated in the NG for seven editions. The numbers of medals won, numbers of delegation members sent and sports competed in are as follows –
