Rules & Important notes :

1. 4TUL originated from a personal challenge in 2020. The "4T" of 4TUL refers to four major mountain trails in Hong Kong: MacLehose Trail; Lantau Trail; Hong Kong Trail and Wilson Trail. The Ultra Loop "UL" circuit starts and finishes at Tai Mo Shan.

The 1st edition was an individual challenge for each runner. The 2nd and 3rd editions were carried out as virtual races. The 4th edition in March 2024 will be held as a physical race carrying on the tradition of no ribbon markings on the race course. Participants must download the GPX file provided by the organiser for navigation. Even though over 95% of the route covers the four trails, the organiser still highly recommends participants to do a recce beforehand to familiarize themselves with the route and understand the terrain.

2. The unique feature of the 4TUL is that participants need a coordinated strategy combining human athleticism with resourceful planning to choose the best start time for them from 6:50am, 7:20am, 7:50am or 8:50am. All participants need to run the first 25km section from Tai Mo Shan to Tuen Mun Pier, then take the 10:50am ferry from Tuen Mun Pier to Tai O. Failure to take the 10:50am ferry will be deemed as DNF.

​

3. Participants must take the following public transport between sections:

Section 1 to Section 2: Tuen Mun to Tai O - CKS Fortune Ferry

Section 2 to Section 3: Mui Wo to Central - Sun Ferry

Section 3 to Section 4: Tai Koo to Lam Tin - MTR* (applicable to One Go participants only)

 *Participants of One Go must take the MTR to cross Victoria harbour. The last train of the day is 00:43am, participants failed to hit the last train will have to take the official shuttle bus available at 02:00am, 03:00am, 04:00am, or 05:00am. Those who cannot catch the 05:00am shuttle bus have to take MTR as early from 06:03am (the first train).

​規則及注意事項 ：

1. 4TUL源於2020年始創人的個人挑戰。4TUL 中的4T 意指路線落在本港4條主要山徑「4 Trails」， 即麥理浩徑、鳳凰徑、港島徑及衛奕信徑；路線的起點和終點同樣位於大帽山，完成路線後的軌跡是一個超級大圈 「Ultra Loop」(UL)。  

4TUL第一屆賽事為挑戰者單獨挑戰；第二屆及第三屆進入賽事模式，在疫情期間，賽事均以虛擬賽形式進行。2024 4TUL第四屆將會為實體賽事，一如既往，大會並不提供任何絲帶引路，故此參賽者需要下載大會提供的GPX 檔作導航。雖然95%以上路線落在4徑上，大會仍然建議參賽者在賽事前試路，以便熟悉路線及了解路況。

​

2. 4TUL 賽事獨特之處是參賽者需考慮路線上的接駁交通而自行計畫起步時間。 2024第4屆4TUL同樣要求參賽者考慮其個人能力及配速等策略作後，從大會指定的3個時間 (0630、0700 、0730 及 0800) 中自行決定其最理想的起步時間。所有參賽者完成第一段由大帽山至屯門碼頭共25公里路線後，必須乘搭由屯門碼頭開出的渡輪到大澳。除在特殊情況以外**，所有參賽者必須·乘搭10:20或10:30航班。第一段屯門碼頭關門時間為11:00，錯過這兩班航班將被視為不能完成賽事(DNF)。

**特殊情況 : 富裕船公司在賽事當日10:30後至11:00期間有加班船，錯過10:20am或10:30am兩班航班的參賽者仍可乘搭加班船繼續作賽，大會並不會取消其比賽資格。

3.路段接駁的指定公共交通工具 

第一段至第二段 :屯門至大澳 - 富裕小輪

第二段至第三段 : 梅窩至中環 - 新渡輪

第三段至第四段 : 太古至藍田 - 地鐵*

*參賽者必需在2024年3月30日 07:00 或之前乘搭地鐵過海。參賽者需留意尾班列車為 00:43。不能趕及乘搭尾班列車的參賽者可選擇乘搭其他交通工具到藍田地鐵站，但會有1小時加時處分。但若參賽者在2024年3月30日早上地鐵公司恢復服務後乘搭地鐵，則毋需加時處分。此段關門時間為 07:00， 參賽者必需在此時間或之前乘搭地鐵過海，過後一概視作DNF。

4. 寄存行李

大會將提供寄存行李服務。

行李及中繼包(Warrior and One Go participants only) 可在起點​寄存。所有行李將依據參賽者參加的組別送到相關的終點；Warrior and One Go 參賽者的中繼包將會送到梅窩。
