36KM UTMB Index Race

The participants start at Kong Ha Au BBQ Site and soon turn right to enter Wu Kau Tang Country Trail. After climbing over Wei Mei Leng, they quickly reach Tin Sam and Wu Kau Tang, then take the Miu Sam Ancient Trail to Ha Miu Tin. The trail descended slowly and was very easy to run. In a series of abandoned village houses, participants then have to climb up the rocky steps to Wang Leng. The ups and downs on the ridge of Wang Leng are a bit strenuous, but the view of Plover Cove Reservoir is also very beautiful. After passing Ma Tau Fung, it’s not far to the checkpoint in Wu Kau Tang .

After replenishing their supplies, participants continue straight ahead on Wu Kau Tang Road and cross Bride’s Pool Road to Pat Sin Leng for the second half of the route. They will run in the valleys along the northern part of Pat Sin Leng via Wu Tsat Ancient Trail and Wang Tsat Ancient Trail, then turn into Pat Sin Leng Nature Trail to reach the third checkpoint “Bride’s Pool Road BBQ Area Site No. 3”. They then return to the trail and tackle one peak after another along the ridge of Pat Sin Leng. Arriving at Lei Pik Shan, participants run down the mountain and hit Wang Tsat Ancient Trail. Passing Sheung Tsat Muk Kiu and Ha Tsat Muk Kiu, they soon reach Luk Keng.

The last section of the route leads from Kai Kuk Shue Ha and Kuk Po. There is a trail behind a public toilet in Kuk Po village, leading to Fan Shui Au and A Ma Wat. They then make a sharp turn on the top of the trail to Wei Mei Leng. About 1.5 km later, participants return to Kong Ha Au barbecue area to cross the finish line.

18KM UTMB Index Race

The 18km course is very suitable for runners who are new to trail running. The first half is quite easy to run. After completing the uphill section of the Wu Tsat Ancient Trail, they continue on the relatively gentle Wang Tsat Ancient Trail and Pat Sin Leng Nature Trail. They soon run downhill to the checkpoint at Bride’s Pool Road BBQ Area Site 3. They go back Pat Sin Leng Nature Trail again, turning left in the middle and climbing up the long steps of Sin Kwu Fung to tackle the eight peaks of Pat Sin Leng. Once on Lei Pik Shan, they running down the mountain and take Wang Tsat Ancient Trail and Wu Tsat Ancient Trail. Finally, they will hit Bride’s Pool Road again and run another 600 meters back to the finish.

5KM

The 5km course is simple and easy to run. The participants run 600 meters along Bride’s Pool Road first, then turn into Wu Kau Tang Road and Chi Sum Road. Take Wu Kau Tang Country Trail and then run downhill after passing Wei Mei Leng. Then cross the finish line at the Kong Ha Au BBQ Area.
