New Year NE Mountain Race 2024 

"The New Year NE Mountain Race" is one of the representative long-distance trail running races in Hong Kong. It has been held annually on January 1st in the northeast New Territories of Hong Kong since 2005, with a history of nearly 20 years. One of the unique features of this event is that the organizers plan different race routes every year.

In the coming year, the New Year NE Mountain Race 2024, organized by Wildtrek, will bring participants a brand new racing experience. The event offers two routes: the Elite Group and the Challenge Group. The Elite Group involves a total ascent of 1800 meters and participants must complete a 35-kilometer course within 9 hours. The Challenge Group, on the other hand, features a total ascent of 1400 meters and participants have 8 hours to complete a 26-kilometer course. Both routes are equally challenging. Additionally, this race includes a special category for mixed-gender two-person teams. Mountain enthusiasts who enjoy participating in mixed-team competitions should not miss this opportunity.
