“I actually found this year's Trailwalker more challenging than last year.”

Alvin Ng Fu Kiu finished the 100K Oxfam Trailwalker in 2024 with teammates in 32:53. Rain and mud made the course slippery and demanding, but the team pulled through on teamwork, watching out for injuries and keeping each other fueled.

香港山旮旯 Hong Kong SankalaRan in 2017 · Finish time 34:18
“Not to brag, but I'm proud of my teammates, the support crew, and everyone who walked alongside us.”

Casey MorganRan in 2015
“I was really proud of the way we pulled together and didn’t let the setback consume our thoughts.”

Early on, the team took a wrong turn and covered an extra 9K on foot before rejoining the official course. Rather than dwelling on the mistake, they helped each other, made use of support at the checkpoints, and kept moving, finishing third.

Rickie KwongRan in 2013 · Finish time 19:34:00
“This year, we went one step further: the entire team finished in 19 hours 34 minutes and earned Super Trailwalker status.”

Rickie Kwong wrote about finishing the 100km Hong Kong Oxfam Trailwalker in 2013 with the whole team in 19 hours 34 minutes, earning Super Trailwalker status. Rickie said team strategy, fueling and support from teammates were key to finishing.

Oxfam Trailwalker’s course is a 100km mountain route that starts at Pak Tam Chung in Sai Kung and finishes at the Harrow International School Hong Kong campus in Tuen Mun.

It follows Sections 1 through 10 of the MacLehose Trail, Hong Kong’s signature north–south trail, from marker M001 to M174.

After M174, the route leaves the MacLehose Trail and enters Sections C6119–C6124 of the Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail,

then passes the Tai Tong barbecue area before climbing the Tai Lam Forest Track.

It later rejoins the MacLehose Trail and heads toward finish.

Just before the finish, a long staircase descends toward Tsing Ying Road, providing a final test for legs that have covered 100km.

The changing terrain—from the coastal ridges of Sai Kung Country Park to the inland forested mountains—is a defining feature of this course.

Typical race-season temperature: around 22°C (71°F)
