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

Alvin Ng Fu Kiu finished the 100 km Oxfam Trailwalker in 2024 with teammates in 32 hours 53 minutes. Rain and mud made course slippery and demanding, but the team finished through teamwork, helping each other avoid injury and keeping on top of fueling.

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

I completed the Hong Kong 100 km Trailwalker as part of a four-person team. We endured hiking through the mountains at night and rain in the latter stages, drawing strength from the support team’s food and companionship, and finished in an unexpectedly fast 34:18.

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

I took a wrong turn near the start, walked an additional 9 km, and later joined the regular course. Rather than dwelling on the mistake, we helped one another, used the support at the checkpoints, and kept moving forward, finishing in third place. The original text does not give an exact finish time.

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 recorded the experience of completing the 100km Hong Kong Oxfam Trailwalker in 2013 in 19 hours 34 minutes with the entire team, earning Super Trailwalker status. Rickie explained that team strategy, supplies, and support from teammates were important 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)
Short sleeves — hydrate for the warmth
