Course description:
14 km
This course has a lot more flat sections then the 22 km. Starts off running on the country park road from the Tai Tong Shan BBQ opposite the AFCD compound and goes 600m up slightly to the 2nd trail turn. Short stair case then backtracks to the Yuen Tuen trail for  short rolling hills until you reach the little temple at 3 way junction (Around 1.7 km), then turn left around 100m and turn right up set of stairs taking you to upper road. Turn right on road and follow uphill for 1.3 km until small trail on right that goes straight up ridge to highest point (239m) then left turn and follow ridge main Tai Lam Chung Country Trail all the way until you reach the catchwater (passing 2 exits going to Tsing Long Hwy bus stops). Carry on catchwater until main road junction and continue right going back into Tai Lam Country park and after 100m (around 10.9 km) this will be water cp by signboard saying "Mountain Bike" trail turn left heading towards Ho Pui direction. This is where the 22 km category turns. The 14 km category continues straight on catchwater past the Wing Kat & Kat Hing Bridges passing the main BBQ grass area with many picnic tables and going another 200m up Tai Tong Shan Road until a right turn on the Yuen Tuen trail. From here around 2 km remaining with short run to temple, then left turn following the same ridge you came out on, except carry straight on at end directly to Tai Tong Shan Road, turn right and finish around 100m later for 14.5 km total.

22 km
Same as above except an extra mountain technical loop heading out towards Ho Pui direction 4 km on main trail until a steep trail on right side short cutting the cement road above to the MacLehose Road. Continue up this trail until the cement road, turning right until the MacLehose, then right again (big mountain bike sign) and carry on up road until you reach the fire lookout at very top with nice view. Turn right down mountain bike trail for around 200m (easy running trail) and then look out for first main trail junction on your left that you come across and take this single track trail that follows the ridge all the way down to a very steep technical trail section. At the bottom of this stay right on the main trail that leads to an electricity pylon and the trail goes under that still following the main ridge down coming out at the Wing Kat bridge by the MacLehose trail road junction. Turn left on the MacLehose and carry on past the main grass BBQ area that goes up Tai Tong Shan Rd 200m until the right turn on Yuen Tuen trail as above then turn left at small temple along ridge until Tai Tong Shan Rd.
