Calling all runners! Founded by passionate athletes, the team behind the “To The Top of Hong Kong” challenge are hosting the first-ever “To The Top” night race.
Separated into three stages spanning different days, the race aims to test runners’ technique, endurance, and perseverance. Stage two will be held on 10 August, and runners will be challenging a two-and-a-half kilometres route with 170-metre elevation gain, around the top of Black Hill in Lam Tin Park. While the climb up will definitely be arduous, the ridge and the fine trail after the downhill section allow for high-speed running, so run as fast as you can!
Participants can enter the 10-kilometre race, the six-hour lap race, or the 12-hour lap race starting at 5 pm and 6 pm, respectively. This race welcomes all levels of runners, regardless of age, with children aged eight to 12 years old invited to participate in the two-and-a-half kilometres kids race. If you’re interested in participating, make sure to register here!
