The 12 Peaks takes place along the famous MacLehose Trail. The 56 km course covers 12 peaks of the trail. Therefore, it is challenging with elevation near 3900 meters. Participants can enjoy the most gorgeous scenery from natural coast and mountains in the East and the countryside in the West.
MacLehose Trail is not only the first official trail, but also the longest one. The trail lies on the mountains between Saikung and Tuen Mun. The trail is divided into 10 sections. Many people know the route from Section 3 to 8 is very mountainous and forms the natural border between Kowloon and the New Territories. However, seldom of them notice that they have to climb 12 peaks for these sections. Therefore, we organize a race and name it “The 12 Peaks” to make people refocus the beautiful mountains and landscapes along this route.
