Countdown to GreenRace Double9 2024~25

Overview

On the Day of the Double Nine, it is a Chinese tradition to climb high. You can take advantage of this holiday and the cooler October weather by getting outside and participating in some trail running. In The GreenRace Double Nine, you can explore the mountainous landscape around Tai Tam Reservoir. There are three different distances to choose from – 5km, 15km and 27km – depending on your level of experience. This event is also the first race in the GreenRace Speed Series, so there will be an exciting race for elite runners aiming for a higher ranking.

27KM

Elevation 1609mD+

Start Time 08:30

This route is quite demanding, with a total elevation gain of 1609 metres. The first half is quite easy to run. Runners start at Tai Tam Barbecue Area Site No. 2 and then continue to Quarry Gap and Sir Cecil’s Ride, soon climbing Siu Ma Shan and Jardine’s Lookout to enjoy the views of the Central metropolis and Victoria Harbour.

The second half of the route is where things get tough. The beautiful view of Tai Tam Reservoir may relieve the harshness of the route somewhat. However, the infamous, constant steps of the Twins and Violet Hill will challenge the thighs of all participants. The key to victory is to keep your energy up for the hills.

15KM

Elevation 779mD+

Start Time 09:00

This is the original route of Double Nine – a course that offers a fast pace for experienced runners and a gentle challenge for beginners with peaceful natural landscape of the woods, mountains and reservoirs. When you reach the top of mountains, please take a moment to appreciate the stunning scenery of the city landscape on the both sides of Victoria Harbour.

5KM

Elevation 303mD+

Start Time 09:30

This is a fast loop in the Tai Tam Country Park area. Participants run along Tai Tam Reservoir Road for 1 km, then make a sharp turn at the end of the dam of Wong Nai Chung Reservoir and take the steps of Tai Tam Country Trail. Then they will reach the top of Violet Hill and going back to Hong Kong Parkview via Wilson Trail. When they hit the road, turn right and run for 650 metres to the finish. The route is safe and easy to run, and children will enjoy running in the woods and on the hilltops.
