WAN CHAI GAP (TRAINING: HK TRAIL)

Wan Chai Gap provides an excellent base for training runs. Our Full Beans route for this location essentially comprises 3 inter-linking loops that can be broken down into separate tracks. Nearby Bowen Road is also easily accessed from here; the best 4km stretch of flat running path on the island, with stunning city views to boot.

START / FINISH POINT 🅿️🏪🚻

Solid base with convenience store, toilets and secluded parking for bikes and cars. These routes can be run as a single “sprint” loop or as multiple laps. Advantage of the latter is we can ditch the hydration packs and stash drinks at our start/finish point.

THE RUN🍺

This track combines some of the best sections of the HK Trail with some fast-running catch water trail, a winning combo for training routes. On this outing I ran a lap in each direction. Posted some early target FKTs but plenty of scope to improve on these times.
