Sheung Shui is located in the west of the North District of the New Territories of Hong Kong. Apart from the indigenous residents, I believe that most people has the impression that it is a faraway area. This time will bring all runners to get to know more about the community of Sheung Shui. 

​

The starting point of the Choi Yuen Theater at Choi Yuen Estate, passing by a basketball court covered by a flyover - Tai Tau Ling Playground. This course is very consistent with the characteristics of Hong Kong, which is small and crowded. It is a playground surrounded by concrete forests. Therefore, it became one of the scenes of the Hong Kong-produced movie.  Afterwards, we will run along the Shek Sheung River to junction of Sheung Yue River and Ng Tung River.  We will stop for a while at the famous Big Water Viaduct in Sheung Shui, with the trains pass by on the sidetracks, runners can feel like they are in the plot of a movie!

Same as before, all burnt calories will be collected and be donated to our beneficiary "AMITY". Let's exercise for hunger together. Registration will be available online from 9 September (Saturday, 1200 noon) to 15 September (Friday, 1200 noon).
