連續第三個星期有比賽，自覺這個26k的山賽，跑得最舒服。
4:45起床，坐5:20從金鐘出發的大巴，天還沒亮就到了北潭涌。在家看溫度以為會挺暖，但太陽沒出來是還是有點涼意。閑著閑著等到開賽前15分鐘才換好衣服，還好日出後暖了不少。
50k七點起步，13k跟今次玩的26k七點十分才起步。爬了一公里上坡，就在萬宜路口左轉上樓梯上大枕蓋。開始時有氣有力，爬山的路不算太辛苦，還過了不少人。跟著鹿湖郊遊徑跑到赤徑CP1，加些水就繼續比賽。順著麥徑二段跑到大浪坳，左轉上蝻蛇尖。天陰有風，攻頂的路雖有一點冷，但總比在烈日下爬山要好。從蚺蛇尖下降到東灣的一段碎石路，想快也快不了。反而小心翼翼的慢慢走，享受涼涼的天氣，感受自己的身體，更加舒服。跑過大灣，鹹田，西灣，在吹筒坳取道西灣路回北潭湧沖線。在西灣路跟另一個跑手並肩跑了一段，令最後4k沒那麼沉悶。
3:37完成，比之前估計的四個小時要快。出發初段，50k跑得慢的，堵住的後面13k跟26k的跑手。三組出發時間再隔開一點會比較好。CP登記比較麻煩，總要停下來讓儀器感應手帶。本來在CP3打算不refill水樽，直接撐到終點就算。還好有工作人員提醒要登記手帶，不讓就給取消資格。路線來說沒什麼驚喜，就是普普通通的西貢山徑。CP提供的只有水，橙跟生的香蕉。這樣的補給，跑26k還可以，就不知道50k的CP有沒有好一點的補給。
It was 6am, with temperature at 18 degree Celsius and humidity reaching 90%. Buses and taxi continued to arrive at Pak Tam Chung. Over 1000 runners gathered here to run the Sai Kung station of the MSIG HK50 series, which showcased one of the most spectacular natural view of Hong Kong.
50 km course kicked off at 7am, while 26km and 13km course started at 7:10am. Running along Tai Mong Tsai Rd and taking a left turn at the end, the course took runners straight up from sea level to Tai Cham Koi, with an elevation gain of 400m.
For those doing 13km, Lok Wu Trail led them back to the finish point via Sai Wan Road. For those in 50km and 26km course, checkpoint at Chek Keng was around the corner for refreshment before more challenge ahead.
Leaving the checkpoint and running along Maclehose trail section 2, runners soon arrived Tai Long Au, and got ready for the highlight of the course. The cloud sheltered the sun, and made the way up the Sharp Peak less painful than usual. After a while of rock climbing, soon they found being surrounded by the fog and reached the top of Sharp Peak.
All the way from the top to Tung Wan, it was the sandy trails, the sharp descend and some bushwhacking which made this section the most technical part of the course. Running along the beaches of led runners back to the concrete trail. Upon reaching Chui Tung Au, the 26km course bought runners back to the finish line via the Sai Wan Road.
50km course continued with the Maclehose trail until they were off the East Dam and looped around Pak Lap, before heading back to Men Yee Road. After 4km on the concrete road and once runners were off the West Dam, they headed onto the trail again along Sheung Yiu Country Trail. Checkpoint was located at 38km, which marked the start of the Pak Tam Country Trail, as well as the final uphill challenge for the tired legs. Following Maclehose Trail section 3 to the top of Ngau Yee Shek Shan, the course made a loop back to Pak Tam Chung to finish through Cheung Sheung and Wa Mei Shan. Oversea runners, in both men and women category, defeat local runners and took the high stand in the podium.
