We can`t deny the beautiful of our nature,the greens that soothes the eye is unbelievable. The course consist of multiple challenge such as hilly slopes,a stream and a muddy patch. Instead of challenge there are also scenic rainforest and breathtaking singletrack. The most forgettable memories for all runners.

There`re several tips for those beginners as trail running is different from road running.Training for a mountain course it is best to train in the mountain itself.Practice how your footing is affected by running rocky terrain.In general, running a mountain course takes more energy and requires closer attention to the trail for footing.You have to prepared to be about 1 minute per km slower than you are in road and plan your hydration, food and finish time accordingly. Try to be familiar with the course and make sure you have a rough idea of any major turns, the colour of ribbons/markings that you are to follow for your event.

As safety is concern, we would like to remind all runners that please listen to your body.It`s not all about winning, the fastest we congratulate them the survivor we salute you.You know your own ability and the level of your endurance.

Last but not least, I`d like to congratulate each runner in advance for participating. The passion and dedication of pushing to the limit is an extraordinary.
