The 9 Dragons in Hong Kong to be 1st SuperTrail

The first SuperTrail of the 2020 Asia Trail Master Championship series will again be the infamous 9 Dragons Ultra in Hong Kong’s New Territories. An event that has grown in reputation and popularity ever since it began and one that brings international and regional talent together over one full weekend of racing. The 9 Dragons’s flagship race is indeed still the 50/50 stage race: 50 miles on Saturday and 50k on Sunday. A race that caters for tough endurance specialists, as the last few years have shown. New - in the context of ATM - is that the 50k and not the 50miles single race will be the second SuperTrail race category for our championship. A measure we took following popular demand by runners to have more first-rate medium distance races in our championship to counter the perceived emphasis on ultra distances. The 9 Dragons Ultra event will therefore offer ATM championship points for both types of trail runners on 1/2 February 2020.

The event takes place in the New Territories of Hong Kong and is known for its vibrant atmosphere and excellent technical organisation.
