Bonaqua LIFEPROOF Action Sprint RUN 2016- Repulse Bay
A Different Valentines Day Course for the Bonaqua LIFEPROOF Action Sprint
Press Release / 12.02.2016
With much anticipation, the Bonaqua LIFEPROOF Action Sprint series are back with a twist and the first leg – Repulse Bay race will start on Valentine’s Day, Feb 14, 2016. Since 1998, Action Asia Events has incorporated into adventure race with the sprint starting in 2003 which have been part of the Hong Kong running scene and gained great popularity among runners.
Wyan Chow Pui-yan, the Hong Kong trail running veteran, personal trainer and champion of many races is also joining the Repulse Bay race. “I hope the river part could return in the Sprint series soon as many runners appreciate the unique course design and varieties in the classic Sprint series. Although I still love the new Sprint trails, Hong Kong has enough pure running races, the swimming parts would still add a lot more flavour to the Sprint,” said Wyan Chow Pui-yan.
This time there will be no river gullies in the Sprints due to the new Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) restrictions across Hong Kong, but other parts of the courses will still remain. The whole course combines technical trails, catchwater and road, suitable for all types of runners or fast hikers. Hopefully AFCD will change their mind so that the organiser can bring the classic river parts back next year.
