The right level of fitness I’m looking for 

Bonaqua Action X SPRINT Trail Series Repulse Bay

HONG KONG, Friday, May 03, 2019 – The Bonaqua Action X SPRINT Trail Series is finally coming to the last leg in Repulse Bay. The race comes in two different courses, the 14km race and the 9km race, which would be a fit for both experienced runners and beginners. This would also be the last scoring race of the Bonaqua Action X SPRINT Trail Series ranking. The current leading man and woman are Limbu Yamanath from Nepal and Natalie Webster from United Kingdom respectively.

Runners will set off from Repulse Bay Beach and after a short sprint on the sand, they will head up towards Tai Tam Country Park for a loop around Violet Hill. The 9km participants will then drop back down to Repulse Bay, while the 14km participants will continue on towards Tai Tam Reservoir for another loop before finishing back at the beach.

Teddy Yip, who has more than 30 years of running experience, is once again joining us in the last leg of Bonaqua Action X SPRINT Trail Series this year. Yip shared, “This is my fifth participation in the Repulse Bay race.  I love it because the event is challenging and exciting. I have been doing trail running for 10 years. I hope that I will perform well at the Repulse Bay race."

Yip also indicated that he is interested in joining some overseas events organized by Action Asia: "I would really love to run overseas but the difficulty is much higher. I would need special training to prepare myself for the event."

This is Australian Runner, Amy Hanly’ s first race with Action Asia and also her first time doing trail running races. She is not a regular runner and racing for fun on Sunday, “I am joining because the race seems to have a fairly good course and it is the right level of fitness I’m looking for.”

The Bonaqua Action X SPRINT Trail Series has been organised for 16 years. In the 2018 edition of Repulse Bay race, Ryan Whelan from United Kingdom is the overall champion, while Stephanie Roland from Namibia took the women’s title. Action Asia Events is dedicated to creating diversified and challenging routes, and giving runners the opportunity to set foot on less-trodden trails and explore the suburbs away from the concrete jungle.

The event is possible due to the generous support of presenting sponsors Bonaqua and Action X Store with supporting partners: Royale International, Lion Rock Brewery, HOKA One One, C3fit, Herbalgy, Salonsip, Lorence & Company and HK Living Magazine.
