Countdown to GreenRace 重九 2023

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 - 5K, 15K, and 27K - 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.

27K (previously 33K)

Elevation 1583mD+

Start Time 08:00

Location Tai Tam Barbecue Area No.2

This course is quite challenging, with a total elevation of 1753m. The first half is quite runnable, with runners starting at Tai Tam Barbecue Area No.2 and then moving on to Quarry Gap and Sir Cecil's Ride, runners will soon climb up Siu Ma Shan and Jardine’s Lookout and enjoy the metropolitan views of Central and Victoria Harbour. The second half of the course is where things get tough. The beautiful views of Tai Tam Reservoir may ease some of the toughness of the trail. However, the infamous and continuous steps of The Twins and Violet Hill will challenge everyone’s thighs. The key to winning is preserving energy for the mountains.
