GreenRace Pottinger 2024~25

The GreenRace Pottinger starts at Pottinger Gap, Shek O. It will be a race full of heart, laughter and sweat, maybe a few tears and ice cold drinks. Don’t let the elevation profile fool you. This is a challenging race, the highlight of which is a rope section up Pottinger Peak. You can compete solo or in a team of up to five people, including our most popular family race category.

The 30 km long route can be divided into 2 sections. The first half starts at Nam Shan, runners cross South Lantau Road and climb to the top of Tai Ngau Wu Teng. Behind the fire lookout point, a stone staircase leads down to the old village of Shap Long. Runners run along the road to Chi Ma Wan and Shap Long Reservoir and then follow the Chi Ma Wan Country Trail to climb Lo Yan Shan. The scenery up there is very beautiful. You can see Pui O Beach up close and Sunset Peak and Lantau Peak in the distance. Hike north on the mountain trail, pass Miu Tsai Tun and return to Shap Long Old Village for supplies. After walking the 6km coastal path back to Mui Wo and Silver Mine Bay Beach, you will have completed the first half of the 14.5km route. The second half is mostly the same as 19 km route.

Pottinger Peak is the easternmost mountain on Hong Kong Island with a clear view. On the summit is a military observation point that cooperated with Devil’s Peak Battery and Sai Wan Battery, which defended the eastern waters of Victoria Harbour during World War II. In addition, Dragon’s Back is widely recognised by locals and foreign visitors as the most beautiful hiking trail in Hong Kong.
