About the race

Pain Is Inevitable.

Some races you finish. The 9 Dragons, you survive. On 27–28 February 2027, the trail returns to Hong Kong's wildest high ground — a two-day assault on the ridgeline that has broken, built and defined ultra-runners across Asia.

Starting deep in Tai Lam Country Park and finishing at Shing Fung Studios, every route on the calendar earns its name on the same unforgiving terrain: relentless climbs, knife-edge ridgelines and descents that punish the brave. This is a round of the Asia Trail Master Championship, with ITRA-rated courses and a field that pulls the strongest trail runners in the region.

Whatever you came here to find, the ridgeline is waiting.
