HONG KONG, March 16, 2026 – Organized by Action Asia Events, the “Healthy Hike & Run – Tai Lam ” was successfully held on March 16, with over 400 participants challenging three different race distances. Hong Kong runner Leung Shun King successfully defended his title as the overall champion of the men ‘s 19km category.
19km Men ‘s Category
The 19km course wound through Tai Lam Chung Reservoir, where competitors raced against the stunning backdrop of the so-called “Thousand Islands Lake. ” Local runner Leung Shun King claimed back-to-back victory with a time of 1 hour 49 minutes and 20 seconds.
Speaking after the race, Leung said: “Today ‘s course was truly enjoyable, with clear markings along the way and pleasantly cool weather. I took one short break mid-race, but thankfully I still managed to get first place–-though just barely. The runner-up, Chris Davis, was incredibly strong and fast, finishing only a dozen or so seconds behind me. It was really thrilling! ”
Hot on his heels was Chris Davis from the United Kingdom, who took second place in 1 hour 49 minutes and 35 seconds. He said: “The weather was nice today, a bit warm. What a fantastic course–-running around the reservoir was amazing. I was a little sad when I found out I was only 15 seconds behind the winner at the finish. If I had known, I would have charged up that hill. What a great race. ”
Third place went to Hong Kong runner Tsz Ho Tam, who finished in 2 hours 3 minutes and 44 seconds. He said: “This was my first time taking part in the Action Asia Tai Tong 19km race, and the overall experience was fantastic–-truly enjoyable! There were some bushwhacking sections along the way, and the weather today was a bit warm, but I performed quite well and was fortunate to secure an award. Thank you, Action Asia! ”
Fourth place was UK runner Marc Harris (2 hours 5 minutes and 18 seconds), who said: “Today started off easy and ended with a fierce battle. ”
Fifth place was Serbian runner Marko Stojanovic, who finished in 2 hours 9 minutes and 46 seconds, praising the beauty of the course and Action Asia ‘s flawless organization for providing such a wonderful experience.
19km Women ‘s Category
Ireland ‘s Lisa Kehoe took the title in 2 hours 4 minutes and 25 seconds. After the race, she said: “I really loved this race. There were some beautiful views along the way, but it was also really tough. I pushed through, and it ‘s a great memory. ”
Second place also went to Ireland ‘s Aine O ‘Connell (2 hours 7 minutes and 39 seconds). She said: “It was a beautiful day. The reservoir was stunning–-running around the mountain, not so much. But it was a beautiful day. ”
Third place was claimed by Hong Kong runner Wong Yu Chit in 2 hours 8 minutes and 43 seconds. She said: “Last year I took part in the 14km race, and this year I stepped up to the 19km distance. The route this time passed by a beautiful dam–-I have to say, the 19km course felt even more runnable. There were plenty of stair sections along the way, and the scenic reservoir views were absolutely stunning. I ‘m already looking forward to joining more Action Asia races in the future. Thank you, Action Asia, for organizing such a wonderful event! ”
Fourth place was Amy Challoner (2 hours 18 minutes and 18 seconds), who said: “I ‘m from Ireland. This course was fantastic with beautiful scenery. The last kilometre was absolutely stunning–-I really enjoyed this race! ”
Fifth place was Hong Kong runner Wiwin Leung in 2 hours 23 minutes and 33 seconds. A devoted fan of Action Asia, she said excitedly: “I ‘ve been taking part in Action Asia events since 2003–-over twenty years now. I ‘ve joined many of their different races over the years, and every single one has been incredibly enjoyable. This time was no exception–-another fantastic experience! ”
13km Category
Both the men ‘s and women ‘s titles in the 13km category went to Hong Kong runners.
The men ‘s winner was Perry Li in 1 hour 15 minutes and 50 seconds. He said: “I ‘m thrilled to have taken first place! Today ‘s race was truly enjoyable, and the overall atmosphere was fantastic. Many thanks to Action Asia for organizing such a wonderful event! ”
The women ‘s winner was Nicole Chau in 1 hour 14 minutes and 32 seconds. She said: “Today ‘s race was so much fun. I really like this kind of warm weather, and the course was especially great! ”
5km Category
The men ‘s 5km winner was another Hong Kong runner and frequent champion, Ng Yin For. He said: “I took part in the Action Asia 5km race today. I was in good form and the race went very smoothly. There were some stone steps and mountain trails along the way, but I gave it my all throughout. I was lucky to take first place in my category! ”
The women ‘s 5km winner was Arabella Bisagni, a 9-year-old from Italy. She said: “My feeling about this race is that it was very hard, but I kept going, and I won! Today I beat myself. ”
Event Highlights and Environmental Commitment
The event also featured 13km and 5km categories, promoting the beauty of Hong Kong ‘s countryside throughout and supporting the “Leave No Trace ” environmental initiative.
Race Director ‘s Remarks
Michael Maddess, Race Director of Action Asia Events, said: “Congratulations to all finishers, and thank you to all participants. It was fantastic to see so many smiling faces in such hot weather.

繩索與技術性地形增添樂趣 動感亞洲台北貓空越野賽圓滿落幕
2026年3月21日，台北–––自2010年起，每年舉辦的動感亞洲貓空越野賽，一直是全島最具技術性的短距離越野賽事之一，賽道極具挑戰性且令人興奮，包含多處濕滑泥濘路段，無論是9公里、17公里還是25公里的組別，都迫使所有參賽者突破自己的舒適圈。
所幸大雨未至，在微涼、飄著細雨的天氣條件下，所有跑者週六在動感亞洲貓空越野賽中，都專注於保持平衡並緊握繩索。
在男子25公里組別中，這場技術性十足的賽事從頭到尾競爭激烈，名次不斷變動，領先集團由伊萬·科馬羅夫（俄羅斯聯邦）、托馬斯·里德勒（奧地利）、陳家強（中國香港特別行政區）、林盛昌（台灣）與顏志叡（台灣）所組成。
25公里男子組總冠軍科馬羅夫以2小時50分16秒完賽，他表示：「這條越野賽道的設計太棒了，極具技術性，下坡路段非常快，有很多石頭和岩石，非常濕滑，幾乎只能用滑行的方式高速通過。可惜在山頂高處因為有霧，看不太清楚周圍的景色，但同時也帶來一種清涼的感覺。大部分時間因為潮濕而不斷流汗，我其實有點不舒服，不然我會更享受這場比賽。與幾位跑在前面的好手一起奔跑，感謝托馬斯和身邊的所有人，他們是非常好的夥伴，一路上給了我很多幫助。我真的很享受，謝謝大家！」
獲得男子25公里組總亞軍的里德勒以2小時52分38秒完賽，他說：「我是來自奧地利的托馬斯，因為一場艱苦的比賽，對於獲得第二名感到滿意。我在賽前一週和朋友一起勘察了賽道，知道它包含了可跑的路段，也有我非常喜歡的技術性地形。今年我參加了一些路跑賽事，也進行了技術性訓練，但可惜今天沒能擊敗冠軍、也是我朋友的伊萬。有趣的是，比賽前最後一刻我告訴他應該報名，結果他贏了我，所以有時候邀請朋友參賽真的要小心，尤其是當他們比你快的時候。這是一場精彩的比賽，我們一群人在上坡和技術性下坡路段都跑在一起。我努力推進，而他（伊萬）比我快了一分鐘，他設定了很快的速度，我原本以為我們不可能在三小時內完賽，但不知不覺就做到了，這是一場很棒的比賽。其他選手在上坡路段擊敗了我，今天每個人都有一番精彩的較勁。」
陳家強以2小時55分24秒奪得男子25公里組總季軍，他表示：「賽道很有技術性，但樂趣無窮。我非常喜歡那些狹窄的單人小徑，但你必須非常小心，特別是最後5公里，有些路段非常濕滑、布滿岩石，我選擇放慢速度、不著急，因為不想受傷。但大山裡的賽段非常有趣，比賽中我們好幾次都跑在一起，我想如果我更熟悉賽道，或許可以再稍微努力一點。我一定會把這場比賽推薦給朋友，因為它跟香港的賽道對比非常不同。」
男子25公里組總成績第四名是來自台灣、隸屬中華越野跑協會的林盛昌，完賽時間為3小時9分48秒。林盛昌說：「賽道很漂亮，但非常具有技術性。過了約21公里處的第三檢查點後，竹林和陡峭的岩石路段對我來說非常艱難。在這段路前後都很難全力衝刺，我在這個路段速度放慢了很多，很難維持高強度，但這是一次很棒的體驗，賽道標示也非常清楚。」
總成績第五名是來自台灣、隸屬「慢慢來比較快」的顏志叡，完賽時間為3小時11分42秒。顏志叡說：「這是一次很棒的體驗，很多路段極具挑戰性，到處都有很好的賽道標記。」
25公里女子組總冠軍瓦萊麗·范德普洛格來自荷蘭，以3小時57分8秒完賽，她說：「我要說這是一場超棒的越野賽，跑過了一些台灣當地人的農場和住宅的後院，也看到了許多陡峭、布滿岩石的美麗山巒，非常感謝主辦單位安排了這麼美好的時光。」
25公里女子組總成績亞軍是來自台灣的陳文靜，完賽時間為4小時11分19秒。她表示：「賽道很適合跑步，但非常困難，因為石頭很多且極具技術性，真的必須專注。非常多濕滑的路段，每一步都必須非常小心腳下，但能完成如此艱難又充滿挑戰性的賽事，感覺非常有收穫。」
日本跑者今堀真紀以4小時23分38秒奪得女子25公里組總季軍。真紀說：「這是一條非常技術性、布滿岩石的賽道，但玩得很開心，因為跟日本非常不同。我很喜歡，大家都應該來試試動感亞洲的這條賽道，標示非常好，氣氛也很有趣。」
來自台灣、隸屬中華越野跑協會的陳怡以4小時31分6秒獲得女子25公里組總成績第四名。開心的陳怡享受著越野賽的體驗，她說：「今天真是一次難得的經歷，賽道有許多起伏的山丘、溪流、岩石、竹林、小徑，但我很喜歡，我們下場比賽見。」
女子25公里組總成績第五名是來自台灣、隸屬「飛天奶黃包」的Huang Shu Jhen，完賽時間為4小時34分55秒。
動感亞洲貓空越野賽25公里組的賽道，起點設於木柵指南宮凌霄寶殿上停車場（海拔272公尺），途經貓空圓山（海拔509公尺）穿越茶園、貓空樟湖步道，翻越二格山（海拔678公尺），下抵阿柔洋產業道路（海拔467公尺）的補水檢查點，隨後沿著後山（海拔530公尺）的山脊線攀登，穿過當地農場與單人小徑，最後返回木柵指南宮凌霄寶殿，完成這場在台北舉行的精彩動感亞洲貓空越野賽體驗。
動感亞洲貓空越野賽的成功舉辦，有賴所有辛勤工作的台北賽道工作人員、大會工作人員、醫護人員、救護車團隊、緊急醫療小組、製作團隊，以及合作夥伴Deer Run Store、台北越野跑協會、SkyHunter、FeedZone Café、Action X、ITRA和Action Asia Sports Academy支持。
