The start is inside the Discovery Bay plaza and leads out to the main sandy beach where you will run to the end of the beach, by the children’s swings/cargo net area. After running around the swings you will exit onto a cement road path and turn immediate LEFT  and run down side lane until the main Discovery Valley Road junction. You will have to cross the road so please be careful and look both ways before crossing. Run up sidewalk on  Discovery Valley Road until the reservoir. It will be CP1. It is about 3km  into the  course so far. (remember Bonaqua carboys so bring your own hydration system for refill). You will then continue along the main road towards the golf course entrance staying left hitting the first left trail entrance before the golf course. (Note some construction on golf course so slight detour off original trail but same direction. This trail will contour around 1.5 km around the golf course clockwise before reaching a trail junction where you will do a sharp left downhill turn. This downhill trail will be around 500 m (watch out for loose rock as easy to twist your ankle), until you reach the cement path by the Monastery. Turn left on the cement path and run down a very steep cement path/road for around 300 m before another sharp left turn on a cement path. This path will take you 300-400 m before some houses so please respect the people that live there as they could be walking on this narrow footpath. When you hit the beach by the first set of houses you will go straight to the beach and run 400 m along the coastline (easy flat beach with some rocks)then cut back onto the footpath next to you and take the cement footpath all the way back to Discovery Bay passing thru Nim Shue Wan. You will cross the main road and run directly across the street by the La Costa apartments and then through waterfront to the main south plaza where the marshal will direct you in to the plaza Watch out for children!!!!  Finish line in front of McSorelys Irish bar in square. AGAIN WATCH OUT FOR PEOPLE WHEN RUNNING INTO SQUARE….

After running around the swings you will exit onto a cement road path and turn immediate LEFT  and run down side lane until the main Discovery Valley Road junction. You will have to cross the road so please be careful and look both ways before crossing. Run up sidewalk around 1km uphill to first right turn road that leads to old Sprint cp and continue up this road to entrance of Lo Fu Tau trail.  This will take the fastest 20 minutes and 40 minutes for the average. When you leave the Discovery Bay Valley Road turning right on small road, stay on the road 200m before going left on the first major trail junction and follow this trail to the very top of Lo Fu Tau where a timing checkpoint will be. Continue thru the Mtn top CP and take the first left junction down a steep mountain trail. Be very careful on this downhill as there are some rocks at the beginning of this trail and if you are going to fast (race leaders!!!) it is very easy to fall and injure yourself. Once at the bottom of the trail you will see the reservoir on your right side and water checkpoint will be there. (remember Bonaqua carboys so bring your own hydration system for refill).  This is around 5.5 km into the course so far.
