人數少從來不是不舉辦的理由，第一屆馬拉松也只有幾百人參加，難道說不值得為幾百人封路便取消比賽嗎？若你有心推動賽事，怎樣也要辦第一次，大家看到有得玩，自然會吸引更多人留意和參加。
全世界大部份馬拉松早已設輪椅賽，但香港要到明年才舉辦第一屆，比很多第三世界國家的馬拉松還要落後。遲到總好過無到，只希望不會出現魔鬼在細節之中，輪椅賽可以如期舉辦，讓傷殘人士都可以得到完成馬拉松的喜悅和滿足感。
‘When I had cancer and was going through chemo, running was the one thing that gave me confidence. ‘ Ethan Zohn, Survivor winner and charity founder ‘At first an ordeal and then an accomplishment, the daily run becomes a staple, like bread, or wine, a fine marriage, or air. It is also a free pass to friendship.’ Benjamin Cheever, Strides
‘I ran to be free; I ran to avoid pain; I ran to feel pain; I ran out of love and hate and anger and joy.’ Dagny Scott, Runner's World Complete Book of Women's Running
‘I don't worry about what I've run. I worry about what I'm going to run. To be successful, you've got to keep moving.’ Rae Baymiller
