The varied topography of Hong Kong offers an exhilarating and challenging environment for trail running enthusiasts. This year’s TNF 100 Hong Kong features a brand-new route that allows runners to explore the serene outskirts of Hong Kong from various angles, creating a truly unique and memorable trail running experience.
All races will start and finish at the Lam Tsuen Wishing Square, a significant cultural heritage site symbolizing good fortune.

Climbing through the mountainous Pat Sin Leng, they will then make a gradual descent towards the Wu Kau Tang Campsite. Passing by several serene ancient villages in the northeastern part of Hong Kong, including Lai Chi Wo, Luk Keng, So Lo Pun and Yung Shue Au, they will arrive back at sea level in Luk Keng before climbing back along the ridgeline of Wong Leng and Ping Fung Shan. Crossing Cloudy Hill, they will conquer Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong’s highest point, via the Lung Mun Country Trail. After enjoying these scenic stretches, they will enter the peaceful Lam Tsuen Valley and pass through Ng Tung Chai. After conquering the challenging ascents of Tai To Yan and running a gorgeous ridge to Pak Tai To Yan, they will pass through Ngau Kwu Leng Trail and descend to the finishing line back at Lam Tsuen Wishing Square.
In the 55K challenge, racers will start at 8:00AM on December 14, surmounting Pak Tai To Yan and traversing Cloudy Hill through the Wilson Trail. They will then merge with the 100K racers and compete on the same remaining course to the finishing line. Meanwhile, the 14K race racers will start at 9:00AM on December 15, first passing through the Ngau Kwu Leng Trail and ascending Pak Tai To Yan, rewarded with spectacular views along the way.

#thenorthfacehk #neverstopexploring #TheNorthFace100 #TNF100HK
[December 10, 2023, Hong Kong] Carrying on the momentum of the race in March, the brandnew edition of The North Face 100 Ultra Trail Challenge Hong Kong 2023 (TNF 100 Ultra Trail Challenge) was successfully held from December 8 to 10 at Tai Mei Tuk in Tai Po. This year’s race brought together 1,800 runners from various countries and regions. The 100km race was started at 10 p.m. for the first time, allowing participants to discover the serene and tranquil side of Hong Kong, and explore the beauty of the city’s nighttime.
In addition, a new 16km race was introduced. Both elite runners and beginners in trail running sprinted through the mountains, challenging their own limits and competing for the championship, and fully embodying the spirit of “Never Stop Exploring” by The North Face!
The competition in the 100km race was intense, with John Ray Onifa and Sunmaya Budha
crowned champions
This year, TNF 100 Ultra Trail Challenge featured a total of three races, allowing runners of all
levels to participate and enjoy the thrill of mountain trail racing together. In the men's 100km
race, John Ray Onifa crossed the finish line with an impressive time of 11 hours, 57 minutes
and 16 seconds, securing the title. The second and third places were claimed by Guillaume
Perrot and Arjun Rai Kulung respectively. In the women's category, Sunmaya Budha
dominated the race with a time of 14 hours and 40 minutes, securing a commanding victory.
The second and third places were won by Man Yee Cheung and Angie Yan respectively.
Cash prizes were introduced to TNF 100 Ultra Trail Challenge. The top three male and female runners who completed the 100km race were awarded HKD15,000 (Champion), HKD10,000 (2nd place), and HKD8,000 (3rd place) respectively, along with The North Face shopping vouchers. Additionally, the first 500 runners who completed the 100km race received a special limited-edition TNF100 hoodie as a commemorative reward.
The fastest to cross the finish line in the 50km race achieved a time of 5 hours, 44 minutes and 58 seconds
In the 50km race, Stone Tsang won the championship in the men's category with a time of 5
hours, 44 minutes and 58 seconds. Tsz Hong Tam and Hong Luk won the second and third
place respectively. In the women's category, Cho Yu Lam won the championship with 6 hours,
29 minutes and 36 seconds. Tsz Kei Wong and Tsz Kwan Lee won the second and third place
respectively.
The newly introduced 16km race attracted over 400 registers
The inaugural 16km race in this edition garnered over 400 registrations. In the men’s category,
Rex Lo emerged as the race’s first-ever champion with a time of 1 hour, 21 minutes and 51
seconds. The second and third places were secured by Tsz Wai Yu and Shiu Lun Yeung
respectively. In the women’s category, Katherine Lim clinched the championship with a time
of 1 hour, 53 minutes and 19 seconds. The second and third places were secured by Po Yuk
To and Phoebe Mak respectively.
Celebrating post-race at “TNF Base Camp” with two check-in spots and a screen-printed eco bag DIY workshop
To celebrate the joy of completing the race and the resilience shown by each runner in pushing their limits, this year’s TNF 100 Ultra Trail Challenge introduced the TNF Base Camp.
It provided a pleasant environment for runners to interact and share their off-road experiences while commemorating their extraordinary achievements. Within the lively TNF Base Camp, runners who have completed the race eagerly checked in and captured memories at the specially designed check-in spots. By simply checking in and obtaining an XPLR Pass, the runners can indulge in the light refreshments provided at the TNF Base Camp to replenish
their energy. They can also participate in a screen-printed eco bag DIY workshop, ensuring that the memories of the TNF 100 Ultra Trail Challenge will be preserved forever. TNF Base Camp exuded a festive spirit, bringing to the challenge a vibrant and celebratory atmosphere.
International and local elitesled runnersin conquering mountains and surpassing their own
limits
This year’s competition attracted various renowned Asian racers, including Nepalese
legendary female racer Sunmaya Budha (100km), Nepalese long-reigning trail run champion
3
Arjun Rai Kulung (100km), and Taiwan’s trail running icon Chou Ching (50km). In addition,
local runners including “Mountain Master” Stone Tsang (50km), local singer Leung Chi Fung
(16km), and Hong Kong top trail runner Wong Ho Chung (16km) also joined the league of
runners to push boundaries and challenge themselves.
As a sponsored athlete of TNF, Wong Ho Chung chose to participate in the newly introduced 16km race of TNF 100 Ultra Trail Challenge. Assuming the role of a mentor, he said: “I am honoured to continue participating in the race as a sponsored athlete of TNF. When I first learned that TNF 100 Ultra Trail Challenge would introduce a 16km race, I eagerly hoped to accompany and guide novice trail runners to face the sport’s various challenges as a mentor, since I am aware that it requires higher physical endurance and presents greater difficulty compared to regular marathons for those who are new to trail running. Besides, I also aspire to pass on the spirit of this sport and allow everyone to experience the joy of trail running.”

TNF100 Course Route Changes Update
Never Stop Exploring with The North Face
#thenorthfacehk #neverstopexploring #TheNorthFace100 #TNF100HK
[TNF100 Course Route Changes]
*Please note that we are currently awaiting the final approval and confirmation from the relevant government departments.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and sincerely appreciate your understanding.
Due to ongoing trail maintenance following September's storms, we have had to make the below adjustments.
100 km Route:
The first 4 sections of the course remain unchanged. However, due to a dangerous landslide over the original Section 6 over Lung Shan, it is necessary to reroute Sections 5 and 6. From the top of Pak Tai To Yan on Section 5, the route now follows the Ngau Kwu Leng Trail to Lam Tsuen Wishing Square and then the bicycle path along Tai Po Road to Tai Po Tau where the CP will be set up at the base of Cloudy Hill. This new routing is 12.4 km compared to the original 8.7 km, but is much more runnable after Pak Tai To Yan. The new Section 6 will ascend Cloudy Hill and follow the Wilson Trail as far as the Lau Shui Heung Country Trail split down to Lau Shui Heung Reservoir and onto Hok Tau Reservoir Barbecue Area.The new section is 7.5 km long, but far less rough than Long Shan.
The Nam Chung Country Trail (Section 7) is closed. After completing the Hok Tau Family Walk, racers will need to go back to Wong Leng over Ping Feng Shan (Section 1 in reverse) before heading to Luk Keng (avoiding Pat Sin Leng). The new section is 11.2 km and contains more altitude gain, so we have increased the allowed section time to 3.5 hours.
With the Wu Kau Tang - Bride's Pool Trail also closed, we have had to move and combine the next two checkpoints at the intersection of Bride's Pool Road and Wu Kau Tang Road. There will still be a 14.7 km loop from Luk Keng to this checkpoint, followed by 9 km of mostly contour trails toward the finish line.
Estimated new distance: 100.3 km and +/- 5,350 meters vertical.
50 km Route:
AFCD expressed concerns about crowding out hikers on Ping Feng Shan so the course will now turn from Wong Leng directly to Luk Keng (~11.5 km with a 4-hour cut off time).
The second section goes through the old Northeast New Territory villages of Kuk Po, Yung Shue Au, So Lo Pun, and Lai Chi Wo to finish in Wu Kau Tang Village (~13.7 km with a 4-hour section cut off time).
From this checkpoint the course goes via Lai Tau Shek, Sam A Tsuen, Ha Miu Tin and Ma Tau Feng to rejoin the 100 km route the Wu Kau Tang-Bride’s Pool Intersection CP (~11.5 km with a 4-hour section cut off time).
Finally there is a 9 km mostly contour trails toward the finish line.
Estimated new distance: 46 km and +/- 2,175 meters vertical.
16 km Route:
The direction of the route has been reversed to a counter-clockwise loop. A short section of running is required along Bride's Pool Road to reach the checkpoint at the intersection of Bride's Pool Road and Wu Kau Tang Road (~6.6 km), followed by 9 km of mostly contour trails toward the finish line.
Estimated new distance: 15.6 km and +/- 800 meters vertical.
【TNF100比賽路線更改】
*請留意,我們仍在等待政府相關部門的最終審批和確認,不便之處,敬請見諒。
由於原定比賽路線歷經九月份的暴風雨後,正進行維護工程。因此,我們不得不作出以下路線調整。
100 公里路線:
前四段路線維持不變。但由於原本的的第6賽段位於龍山的山坡有危險斜坡,因此第5賽段和第6賽段的路線將有所調整。由第5賽段北大刀屻山頂開始,新路線將沿著牛牯嶺徑到達林村許願廣場,然後沿著大埔道的單車徑前往九龍坑山。原有的路程為8.7公里,而更改後的路線路程為12.4公里,但比起原有的北大刀屻路線更適合跑手。新的第6賽段將經過九龍坑山,沿著衛奕信徑到流水響郊遊徑的分岔路口,再到達流水響水塘,最後將到達鶴藪水塘燒烤區。新路線路程為7.5公里,比原有崎嶇的龍山路段較為平坦。
南涌郊遊徑(第 7 段)已經關閉,因此,完成鶴藪郊遊徑後,跑手需要返回屏風山至黃嶺(第 1 段反向路段),然後前往鹿頸(避開八仙嶺)。新賽段全長 11.2 公里(比舊賽段長 3 公里),海拔升高較多,因此我們將該賽段的完成時間延長至 3.5 小時。
由於烏蛟騰-新娘潭教育徑已經關閉,我們不得不移動並合併位於新娘潭路和烏蛟騰路交叉口下的兩個檢查站。從鹿頸到此檢查站仍將有一個 14.7 公里的環路,然後以9 公里長的等高線山路為終點。
預計新距離 : 100.3 公里,垂直高度 +/- 5,350 公尺。
50 公里路線:
由於漁農自然護理署 (AFCD) 擔心屏風山的行山人士擠擁的問題,因此路線現將從黃嶺直接到達鹿頸(路程約 11.5 公里,路段截止時間為 4 小時)。
第 2 段路線途經新界東北村落,包括谷埔、榕樹凹、鎖羅盆及荔枝窩,終點為烏蛟騰村(路程約 13.7 公里,路段截止時間為 4 小時)。
從此檢查站出發,路線途徑犁頭石、三椏村、下苗田、馬頭峰,然後到達新娘潭路和烏蛟騰路交叉口下的檢查站(路程約 11.5 公里,路段截止時間為 4 小時)。
最後經過 9 公里長的環形賽道後為終點。
預計新距離 : 46 公里,垂直高度 +/- 2,175 公尺。
16 公里路線:
路線方向改為逆時針環形,需要沿著新娘潭路跑一小段路,才能到達位於新娘潭路與烏蛟騰路交叉口的檢查站(約 6.6 公里),然後以 9 公里長的等高線山路為終點。
預計新距離 : 15.6 公里,垂直距離 +/- 800 公尺。

[2023 年 10 月 11 日,香港] 隨著颱風「小犬」離港,香港終於出太陽啦!在天氣晴朗的日子,當然又是行山的時候!各位山系男女請 get ready!因為 The North Face 100 香港越野跑挑戰賽(TNF 100 香港越野跑挑戰賽)有好路線介紹,更特別夥拍獲獎無數的香港風景 攝影師 Kelvin Yuen,為大家揭開鮮為人知的四大行山隱世秘景!四大隱世秘景均途經 TNF100 香港越野跑挑戰賽的跑道,分別是大帽山的「雲霧日出」、梧桐寨及新娘潭的「磅礴瀑布」、印洲塘的「千島湖景」及八仙嶺和大刀屻的「連綿山脈」!無論是與好友同行打卡,留下美好回憶,抑或是遠離煩囂,開展一場山林之旅,都絕對值得瀟灑走一回!
大帽山:雲霧日出
大帽山乃 TNF 100 香港越野跑挑戰賽 100公里賽的最高峰,秋天之時,除了可以觀賞芒、狗尾草、觀霜,更不容錯過專屬大帽山山頂的雲層變幻之景,以及絢爛日出曙光!作為以「霧」聞名的大帽山,秋冬之時,將近日出時分的觀景絕對能夠用「壯觀」二字形容。日出將至,雲霧翻滾,無邊無垠,城市的喧鬧都被隔絕在白茫茫的雲層之下,唯能隱隱約約見到獅子山的輪廓。直至太陽緩緩從雲層中升起,逐漸染紅天空和雲層,才正式為大帽山的天空披上一層薄薄的金紗。下次計劃登上大帽山,不妨試試在雲霧日出之下,站上山頂最高處的「龜石」打卡,留下和整個天地融合時刻的合照,為絕美背影留倩影。

梧桐寨及新娘潭:磅礴瀑布
說起大帽山,絕對不得不提大帽山附近兩個以瀑布聞名的行山景點——梧桐寨及新娘潭。
梧桐寨瀑布
梧桐寨瀑布坐落大帽山一帶,處於叢林深處,四個主要瀑布周邊均被豐富的梧桐樹包圍。
在秋冬的清晨來到梧桐寨,更有機會因為低氣壓的緣故,觀賞到煙霧繚繞的「雲瀑」。而周圍的梧桐樹同樣已披上薄霧,宛如誤入仙境!
行至高約 30 米的主瀑旁,眼前更如被蒙上一襲白布般,只能感受到流水飛瀉而下的磅礴
氣勢,猶有洗滌心靈之效。
新娘潭瀑布
相對於梧桐寨,新娘潭瀑布四季的水量較少,市民鮮少發掘其雨後的驚艷美態!秋季下雨
後(通常是 9 月至 10 月),瀑布的水量有所上升,水流從山峰傾瀉而下,景色極為壯麗
獨特!而新娘潭亦是 TNF 100 香港越野跑挑戰賽 16 公里賽跑手途徑的其中一個重要地點。
印洲塘——千島湖景
而有報名 TNF 100 香港越野跑挑戰賽 50 公里及 100 公里賽的跑手有福了!因為千島湖景是該路段的必經路程。而印洲塘是較冷門的行山路徑,作為香港第三個「千島湖」,其湖面寧靜如鏡,清澈見底,倒映出數百個大大小小的山峰輪廓,在陽光的照射下更加美不勝收,令人心曠神怡!
不過,觀賞壯觀的千島湖景需走 13.2 公里路,所以建議盡量選擇秋冬季節來到印洲塘,屆時天氣較乾燥涼爽,能夠更舒適地觀賞美景。

八仙嶺及大刀屻——連綿山脈
初秋的八仙嶺芒草仍然蒼綠。放眼望去,綿延的山徑營造出幽靜氛圍,宛如置身瑞士山脈之間,令人不知不覺感受到大自然的力量,尋回寧靜内心。同樣擁有突出的山脊,大刀屻的山峰景觀卻更為鋒利,山峰矗立在陡峭的懸崖上,宛如劍刃一般。日落時分從北大刀屻往大刀屻方向下山,回頭會看見山峰與太陽交相輝映,別有一番風味。整條山徑並沒有任何遮擋,頗適合秋冬季節與一眾親友來到,一邊感受和煦陽光的暖意,一邊俯瞰開揚的平原城市景觀,收穫豁然開朗的體驗。
