Physical race is back! While we are waiting for the 2023 Victoria 162 flagship to be approved, we are now launching the summer version of H25 - the HOT25 on Sep 24 (Saturday)!  Overlapping some of the H25 race course, the HOT25 also traces the city boundary of Victoria City, go through more historical monuments and iconic views. With safety on our mind and striving to avoid overheating, we designed the course with 80% tree shades, adequate water refill points and vending machines, and sandwiching some streamtrekking in between climbs to get you cooled down! 

Starting at Parkview, climbing to Quarry Gap and up Butler, the course descend Siu Ma Shan and keep heading north via Walker Street signal station, then runners would stream-trace the Siu Ma Stream, exiting at the Mount Butler Radio station.

After refilling, the climb up to Jardine awaits and CP2 is at Wong Nai CHung reservoir. The long runnable stretch follows: Tai Hang Road - Bowen Road - Dutch Lane, with a steep climb of Wanchai Gap Road in between. CP3 is at the end of Dutch Lane, then comes the challenging climb all the way up Victoria Peak's reservoir via Chatham Path, Peak Tower and Mount Austin Road. Last refill is at the Peak food kiosk.

Steep descend follows along Governer's walk and Hatton Road. And you would run the Cheung Po Tsai Ancient Path back to Old Peak Road, after which a sharp descend through various contour street of mid-levels down to End Point: Three Garden Road at Central. ​
