4TUL Ultra race

ABOUT 4TUL

4 Trails Ultra Loop, aka 4TUL, was created by Kenneth (PhotoGuava) . The loop starts and ends at Tai Mo Shan Lin Jie's kiosk. The loop is about 189km (Route189) in total with cumulative elevation gain of 5,200m. 95% of the 4TUL route falls within Hong Kong 4 major trails (namely MacLehose Trail, Wilson Trail, Hong Kong Trail, and Lantau Trail). It basically divided into 4 trail sections and 3 of them are connected with public transportation by MTR and ferries. The route to be done on foot is approximately 146km.

The 2020 version of 4TUL was a 189km One Go challenge. It ended up with almost 30 participants who attempted the challenge and most of them succeeded.

2021 4TUL Ultra race was a series of trail running races based on the original 4TUL concepts. Besides the original 189km One Go challenge, there were also races from 1 section to 4 section in a row and team challenges.

In order to increase the level of challenge, 2023 4TUL Ultra race has a slight modification from the original course. The concepts of the course on Hong Kong 4 major trails remains. It has been extended to 170km running distance with a total of 4 race categories, namely 100M Extreme, 100K Warrior, 50K Rocker, and 25K Speedster (50K stage race).

關於 4TUL

4 Trails Ultra Loop (簡稱4TUL) 的路線是由Kenneth (PhotoGuava) 設計。起點及終點均在大帽山郊野公園訪客中心茶水亭 (又常被稱為大帽山連姐茶水亭)。路線總距離為189公里,故以Route189之稱。累計攀升5,200米。 4TUL 95%路線均在香港4條主要山徑 (即麥理浩徑、衛奕信徑、港島徑及鳳凰徑) 進行。189公里的路線主要分為4段。其中3段以地鐵或渡輪連接。實際需要跑步的距離約為146公里。​

4TUL 2020為一次性完成189公里挑戰,總參加人數約為30人。大部分參加者都能成功完成。

2021 4TUL Ultra race 是一個由4TUL演變出來的越野賽事, 除了189公里核心賽道,還增加一到四段分開完成及隊際接力的組別。

2023 4TUL Ultra race 在原本賽道上進行了輕微調整,增加了挑戰難度,但仍保留著香港4條主徑作為比賽賽道的概念。賽道的延長到170公里 (跑步距離),共分為4個組別,分別為100M Extreme、100K Warrior、50K Rocker 及 25K Speedster (50K Stage race)。
