The Castle Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Dalian and Aloft Dalian, held a Run to Give charity race on Sunday at the northeastern coastal city.

About 150 staff members, guests, and residents participated in the race and raised 10,120 yuan ($1,600) for the autistic children with World of Brut Art Culture.

The 5 km race witnessed participants running from The Castle Hotel to Dalian Forest Zoo along the scenic Binhai Road.

This is one part of the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Run to Give charity run, which took place in 105 locations across Asia Pacific on Sunday.

"Run to Give underscores Starwood's commitment to drive meaningful impact to the local communities as we recognize that the vitality of our business is directly linked to the vitality of the places where we operate," said Stephen Ho, president of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Asia Pacific.

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. is one of the leading hotel and leisure companies in the world with more than 1,200 properties in some 100 countries and over 180,000 employees at its owned and managed properties.

Started in 2014 as Hotel Charity Run, the inaugural event saw an overwhelming response of over 20,000 runners take part in 92 locations across Asia Pacific and raised total of nearly $228,000.
