A very tough race, with 3000+ metres of climb. I missed a turn and added an unnecessary 500 metres beyond that. Based in the New Territories and includes a climb of Hong Kong’s highest peak (Tai Mo Shan). The race mostly follows the Maclehose trail (stage 4 Ma On Shan national park) along ridges providing great views of HK and the islands. The terrain under foot is good and is possible to run down and up (if willing). The weather was perfect, bright, sunny and 25 degrees. The last 2 hours were in the dark and the organisers do enforce mandatory equipment.
