The 9 Dragons

8,079 metres of climbing.

That is roughly the elevation of Everest base camp above sea level — the entire vertical distance, compressed into a single race across Hong Kong's mountains.

Not in the Himalayas. In the New Territories. Starting at Tai Lam. Ending at Shing Fung Studios.

138.1 kilometres. Two days. One city that most people only know from the harbour.

8,079米爬升。
大約係珠峰大本營嘅高度——全部壓縮在一場香港嘅比賽裡。
唔係喜馬拉雅，係新界，係九龍。
你準備好未？

First-timers. Veterans on their fifth finish. Solo runners. Relay teams. Kids in the 4km. Parents at the crew points.

The 9 Dragons is not one type of runner. It never was.
It is everyone who decided the mountain was worth meeting — on its own terms, at its own elevation, in its own time.

All of us. February 2027.

第一次。老手。獨行。團隊。小龍。父母。
九龍唔係得一種跑手嘅賽事——係我哋所有人嘅賽事。
有一個位係屬於你嘅。

Rest is not a gap in the training plan. It is the training plan.

The adaptation happens in recovery — the hours and days after the hard work, when the body consolidates what it has learned.
The mountain will still be there next week. Pat Sing Leng is not going anywhere.

Recover well. The start line depends on it.

休息係訓練嘅一部分——唔係缺口。
適應係喺恢復期發生嘅，唔係喺跑步時。
山唔會走嘅。恢復好，先到得到起跑線。

There's a moment in the Nine Dragons when the sun drops and the trail disappears.

Your headlamp becomes your universe. Every root, every rock, every turn — revealed one breath at a time.

This is where the race truly begins. In the dark, there's no scenery to distract you. Just you and the mountain. Just your heartbeat and the sound of your own footsteps.

If you want to tame the dragons, you must first learn to run in the dark.

Training tip: Do one night run per week. Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

九龍比賽入面有一刻，太陽落山，條路消失。

你嘅頭燈變成你嘅宇宙。每條樹根、每塊石頭、每個轉彎——一呼一吸咁揭示。

呢個先係比賽真正開始嘅地方。喺黑暗入面，冇風景可以分散你注意力。得你同座山。得你嘅心跳同自己腳步聲。

如果你想馴服條龍，你要先學識喺黑暗中跑。

訓練貼士：每星期做一次夜跑。學識喺唔舒服入面搵到舒服。

Before the city wakes, hundreds of headlamps flicker to life at the start line.

Tai Lam in the dark. The collective breath before the gun. The sound of hundreds of trail shoes on cold ground, spreading into the mountain.
Below you, Hong Kong sleeps. Above you, nine ridges are waiting.

This is what we come for.

天未光嘅起跑線。頭燈亮起。數百個跑手。
大欖嘅黑暗裡，靜靜等候第一聲響。
城市仲喺下面瞓覺，九條脊喺上面等。
呢個，就係我哋嚟嘅原因。

Registration is open.
The excuses are real.

Not fit enough yet. Too busy. Maybe next year. Let me check the calendar.

The 9 Dragons Ultra has been running for years. The mountain doesn't wait for the right moment.

One of them has to go — the registration tab or the excuse.

報名開咗。藉口好多。
未夠fit、太忙、下年先算、等等先。
留一樣，甩一樣。
山唔會等你準備好。

Pain Is Inevitable.

You will know it on the climbs. On the descents when the legs are already spent. In the dark hours when the rational voice gets loud.
The question the 9 Dragons asks is not whether you will feel it.
It is what you do when you do.

27–28 February 2027. The answer is out there on the mountain.

有你諗咁難啫。
痛係必然嘅——爬坡時、落坡時、凌晨三點嗰陣。
問題唔係痛唔痛。係你點面對佢。
2027年2月，答案揭曉。

Somewhere between 2am and first light, the race becomes something else entirely.

It is no longer about pace. Not about position. Not about the next checkpoint or the split time or the crew waiting below.
It is just this: one foot in front of the other. The ridge in front. The dark behind.

This is where the 9 Dragons decides who you are.

凌晨兩點到天光之間，個賽事變咗另一件事。
唔係速度，唔係名次，唔係下一個補給站。
只係：繼續行。腳，前面，黑夜。
呢個，就係九龍決定你係咩人嘅時候。

Every relay team has the same four people.

The one who runs hills for fun and is already too far ahead.
The one who goes quiet in the dark hours but never stops moving.
The one who talks the most at the start and needs the most at the end.
And the one who holds the whole thing together when it starts to fall apart.

You know who they are. Build the team. Register.

一個鍾意爬山嘅，跑快過所有人。
一個夜晚先發力，安靜但唔停。
一個講多過跑但係唔放棄嘅。
一個係你最需要佢嗰陣出現嘅。
你個team，係時候組好。

Four runners. One bib. The 84.7km course divided among people who trust each other enough to share the mountain.

The 9 Dragons Relay is how you bring the whole crew.
Running clubs. Work teams. Old friends who've been talking about doing a race together for years.
This is the format. This is the moment. February 2027.

Assemble your four. Register → the9dragons.asia

四個人，一個號碼，84.7公里。
唔係一個人嘅仗——係你帶齊成班人嚟嘅理由。
係時候集合你嘅隊伍。
