21km Course Description:
The 21 kilometer distance race starts at the River Silver Garden in Mui Wo. The first 1 1/2 kilometer will go through the village, after which you will climb to Nam Shan over the Old Nam Shan path. Reaching Nam Shan, carefully cross the road at the bus stop.
On the other side of the road, continue climbing up the Tai Ngau Wu Teng where you will top out at 250 meters. Make sure to enjoy the views on the downhill but save some energy for the next climb! At the end of the stairs downhill you will reach the entry to Chi Ma Wan, where the first Checkpoint is for the 21 km distance. You continue straight and go immediately up the stairs to start your Chi Ma Wan adventure. After the two tops of Chi Ma Wan you can enjoy a lovely runnable down hill that will take you to the reservoir.
Here pay careful attention, you take a right and cross the reservoir, but you might see faster runners come back already over the same path, this part is a two way path for the race. You will do a 5k loop over a beautiful trail before coming back to this same trail that will bring you to the Chi Ma Wan prison. You take a left to follow the road and with some steps go behind the prison to came back on and follow the road. Where the road meets the sea you will find the 2nd checkpoint and you will be around 16.5km into the race. Take some food and water and continue along the coastal path, until you come across a left turn back onto the trail. Some beautiful trails will bring you back to Mui Wo, where a short final jog through the village, mostly along the coast, will bring you back to the River Silver Garden.
