The Treasure Hunt is doubling this year (usual race in the morning, plus an advanced race in the afternoon)!
More events being added as well, for example:

Robert Lockyear writes:

Operation Santa Lamma Charity Half Marathon and 10 km route. Sunday 4th December 2016.

Starting at the plaza near police station complete one circuit to the back of The Island Bar, then follow purple to the red line again and complete second circuit
That's the 21.1 km half marathon. It is a very challenging trail.

Some, but not all, Operation Santa Claus happenings on Lamma on Sunday, Dec 4, '16, are listed on the SCMP's OSC website already: http://osc.scmp.com/events/community

By the way, Hans Andersen Club in Tai Wan Village (and other places outside Lamma) will be one of the 20+ beneficiaries of this year's Operation Santa Claus: http://osc.scmp.com/article/bene_list/elderly

The project they applied for is a bit similar to the Storytelling events below, but for elderlies:

More posters are coming in, all for this super busy weekend.
I'll probably be running/biking around North Lamma much of Sunday trying to capture photos of the several events for Operation Santa Claus...
