At the starting line, all you could see was a big steep hilly road. Well, luckily the weather was great and cool especially for Hong Kong. I have to tell you I was surprised how fast the runners went out because I myself was under 5 minutes for around 100m elevation. I know the elevation say 216; but I don't believe it. I looked at google map and believe that more.

This was all steps going up and up and up. I don't really like to stop running and walk; but this race is a must. You wonder if you are in shape? Well, try this course and you'll realize what your body can handle. For me, I thought the 2 peak hike/run last 2 weekends were enough. I was wrong!

This path turned technically difficult because now it's not steps but you are running half of it downhill like leapfrog. I remember parts of it being dirt trails; flashback 20years when I did cross country.

All down hill on road. Picking up speed...

Unbelievable? I thought I could only do this on a flat first 1k. Thank you gravity!

The rest of the race was all flat; similar to Tolo 5k. I was happy with this pace especially after the brutal first 3k, but some girl just whizzed me by 200m ;( before the end. Good for her!
Summary 0:47:36 8:19 836 925
If you are planning to run or hike the Oxfam Trailwalker in November, Moontrekker in October, or Lantau 2 Peaks 20k race in October; then this race was a little taste of hill race running/hiking/walking.
