About Team Fear
Team Fear is a wholly volunteer organisation established in 2001 by a team of avid adult adventure racers. We believe our race is unique in the world in presenting adventure racing to young people. We strive to create a challenging race that can test boundaries allowing competitors to experience and grow all within a safe environment.
All this would not be possible without the help and support of the hundreds of volunteers who helped us plan, prepare and execute our race safely. This is a truly community-based event that relies on the goodwill and help of local interest groups, schools, businesses and HKRI the developer of Discovery Bay.
Charity Fund-raising
Our competitors benefit from being born into opportunity and cognisant of that Team Fear donates all its excess funds from the race to a registered local charity. Youth Outreach (yo.org.hk)
Youth Outreach (YO) is dedicated to helping underprivileged and disadvantaged youth. Their award-winning programs help bridge gaps between difficult family circumstances and the hard-edged reality of “getting by” in Hong Kong. To date, Team Fear has raised over 1m in cash for YO.
Please help us raise more by asking your friends and family to sponsor your team. Helping this worthy cause means our racers can pay forward to those less privileged.
For larger donations ($500 plus), we can arrange for a tax-allowable receipt made out from YO directly.
