blurmax

Thanks hkrunners.com for the race info :

A pure trail running and hiking event starting at Tai Tong Shan Rd (where Oxfam Trailwalker finished in that huge BBQ area before you went into Po Leung Kuk).

Race starts at 8am and features 3 categories for all. 5km route goes out 3km on the country park road then 2km back along trail coming out behind the BBQ. Great for families who want to walk or speedsters wanting a short 5k tempo run. Next the 13k which follows the trailwalker route backwards with 2k out of road, then trail for next 2k slight rolling hills on single track, 1k down to reservoir trail basically following the trailwalker backwards 6km hugging Tai Lam Chung reservoir dirt flat trail until the cp9 at grass picnic area then up hill following Yuen Tuen trail to finish. Great fast course for trail runners who like a mostly flat course with few hills. Last is the 22k for the more middle distance runners that goes all the way around the reservoir (but not using the road) as this is not difficult as no major hills with the exception of one hill at the East side of the Tai Lam Chung Dam that the hill goes up with single track (hiker can go up in 15-20min) then beautiful Yuen Tuen Ancient Trail running for next 8km or so on beautiful single track dirt trail until you come out by the trailwalker cp9 area and following same 2km route as above categories back to finish on single track trail. Wicked course for middle distance runners and quite fast course. You only need your running shoes for this so don't worry as no rivers or rocks on this course as purely for trail runners. Water cps along route, but recommend waist water bottle holder in race/hike.
