Get Set to unleash the "Never Stop Exploring" spirit in this Spring prelude race to the annual The North Face 100
(7 January 2023, Hong Kong) Great news for Hong Kong Trail Runners! Due to the easing of government Covid policies, additional 400 quota added to total 1200 for the The North Face 100 Ultra Trail Challenge 50K race will open for registrations on 8 January, 6pm. Last month, the 500 pax quota sold out and the 300 pax waiting list filled within the first day. This is now your chance to get involved in this popular trail running event!
