MERRY-RUN-ROUND
The name Merry-Run-Round is a playful pun derived from 'merry-go-round'. It captures the fun aspect and the looped relay format of this trail race in which team participants aim to complete as many laps as possible on a loop within a set time limit.
The first edition of Merry-Run-Round will be held at Tai Tong. Two categories: Fun Challenge - 2 hours, Endurance Challenge - 4 hours
Merry-Run-Round 賽事名稱源自於「旋轉木馬」(merry-go-round)，是一個俏皮的雙關語。它概括了這個越野賽事的趣味性和輪迴跑形式，參賽隊伍需在限時間內盡可能完成最多圈數。
首屆 Merry-Run-Round 將在大棠舉行。比賽分為兩組：奔紛跑 - 2小時，耐力跑 - 4小時。
