The MacLehose Trail is the longest hiking trail in Hong Kong, spanning 100 km and divided into 10 sections. The third to eighth sections are considered the most challenging, with a total elevation gain of 3200 m, earning them the nickname “Double Au” among hikers. Due to their formidable nature, the Double Au sections have become a testing ground for various long-distance trail races. Participants who conquer this segment demonstrate their ability to take on races of 100 km or more.

“Move forward steadily to achieve eternity.” The moments just before success are often the ones that require the most patience. Do you have the perseverance to keep going?

AVOHK organizes this historic event in conjunction with the HKLRRC in memory of long time AVOHK and Ladies Road Runners member Malcolm Phillips, who so sadly died in May 2006.

Malcolm was a great AVOHK supporter and active member, both participating in races and as an organizer. He is so sorely missed by all but especially by the running community. Malcolm is always in our thoughts.

As a unique feature of the Malcom Philips 5K, we do not have categories, as it is an ‘age graded’ race. Times are adjusted by age grading in order to calculate over all results.
