The Gurkha Trailblazer in its third edition will be held in Hong Kong on February 8, 2020. The event is named in honor of the Nepalese soldiers who lost their lives in global conflicts fighting for peace. The race also won the “Best New Race” award at the 2018 Gonerunning Hong Kong Trail Running Awards. Gurkha Trailblazer covers 2 distances- 12/ 26 km in the eastern New Territories, within Pat Sin Leng Country Park, where Gurkha regiments also regularly held “Bulldog” training and War Simulation Exercises. This involved running up and down the hills carrying heavy packs and military equipment. It is anticipated to become an exciting new addition to Hong Kong’s trail running calendar, which has exploded in popularity in recent years, attracting elite runners from all over the world.
