Overview

On the day of Double Nine, it is a Chinese tradition to climb high. You can make the most of this public holiday and the cooler October weather by going outside and participating in some trail running. In TGR Double Nine, you can explore the mountainous landscape around the Tai Tam Reservoirs. There are three different routes available – 7K, 15K, and 33K – depending on your level of experience. This event is also the second race of the TGR Speed Series, so elite runners aiming for a higher ranking will make for an exciting race.

33K

This course is quite challenging, with a total elevation of 1843m. The first half is quite runnable, with runners starting at Braemar Hill Road Playground and then moving on to Sir Cecil’s Ride and Mount Parker Road. Once they reach Quarry Gap, runners will be treated to the stunning views of Tai Tam Reservoirs and the surrounding mountains. The second half of the course is where things get tough, with the infamous mountains on the island, such as The Twins, Violet Hill, Jardine’s Lookout, and Siu Ma Shan, challenging the runners’ thighs one by one. The key to winning is preserving energy for the mountains.

15K

This is the original route of Double Nine – a course that offers a fast pace for experienced runners and a gentle challenge for beginners. Take a moment to appreciate the stunning scenery. On the south side, the natural beauty of the mountains and reservoirs creates a peaceful atmosphere. On the north side, the remarkable metropolitan view of Central and Victoria Harbour awaits!

7K

It is a fast loop along Sir Cecil’s Ride. It is safe and runnable and kids will enjoy running in the woods.
