The Umbrella Ultra Marathon, or Umbrellaultra, was a 102 km distance running event held on 29 October 2014.
[2] Some runners implemented this idea through a distance running passed through the main areas occupied by the pro-democracy protesters.
[3] The event was organised by John Ellis, Andrew Dawson, Richard Scotford, and Andre Blumberg.
Ellis and Dawson conceived the idea on Sunday, 26 October with the aim of showing support for the students and the Umbrella Movement.
[20][21] The running team took a little rest in three "occupy areas" in Mong Kok, Admiralty, and finally Causeway Bay to show support to the protesters.
