There are marshals around the course, together with medical first aid at CP and finish area. If you see someone who is in obvious need of help please stay with them and ask the next person who passes you to request for help to the next marshal on course and let them know the competitor number/name if possible and what kind of injury it is. (I.e. broken ankle, twisted knee, injured arm, life threatening, etc).

PASSING ON THE COURSE – THE CORRECT WAY 賽道上超前的正確方法

Please be considerate and turn your music down so you can hear others approaching. See rules & regulations tab on this page. If you must pass someone please yell, “passing on your left” or “passing on your right”. If someone is passing you please be considerate and let them overtake you. No pushing and shoving please.

請把音樂的音量調低,以便能聽到其他參加者經過,請參閱規則與條款頁,如要超前前方之跑手,請早揚聲。"在你右方前進"或"你的右方",均示意閣下正在接近及有意超前。如被其他參加者超前,請顧及對方,讓他超前,請勿推撞。

How much water / sport drink to start with??? RECOMMEND SPORT DRINK AS SODIUM INSIDE TO REDUCE CRAMPING.

You must bring your own drinks to start with so recommend:

1 - 1.5 liters of water or sport drink– If you plan on walking the course bring at least 2-3 gels and maybe 1 energy bar.

起步時須要多少水/運動飲品??? 建議帶備運動飲品以減少抽筋機會

起跑必須自飲料。

1至1.5公升水或運動飲品,如你計劃步行,請帶備2-3包能量膏及1條能量能量棒。



Hydration 2 days BEFORE RACE DAY

Recommend stay well hydrated 2 days leading up to race - drink lots of water the day before the race. Don’t just drink water but get minerals / electrolytes in your body as well.

賽前星期五及六水份補充

建議賽前兩天補充足夠水份,賽前一天,補充大量水份,除以外,更應補充電解質。


Food 2 days BEFORE RACE DAY

Recommend starting carbo-loading at least 48 hours before the race and not just waiting until the night before. AVOID MEAT THE NIGHT BEFORE as takes more than 24 hours to fully digest and will make you feel sluggish. Try to have a good breakfast (banana oatmeal, rice, etc) at least 2-3 hours before the start of the race in order for good digestion.

賽前星期五及六食物補充

建議賽前最少48小時開始儲存炭水化合物,不要比賽前晚上才開始。比賽前晚上避免吃肉類,因須要24小時才完全消化,比賽前2至3小時前吃豐富早餐(香蕉、麥片、米飯等),以達至良好消化。


Garbage on the course

ANYBODY FOUND THROWING EMPTY GEL WRAPPERS, GARBAGE OR EMPTY BOTTLES ON THE COURSE WILL BE DISQUALIFIED AND FINED. Please help us report anyone you see blatantly throwing garbage.


賽道上亂拋垃圾

如發現任何人在賽道上拋棄能量膏包裝、垃圾底空樽將會被取消資格及罰款。請告訴我們如發現任何人有亂拋垃圾行為。

Sunscreen and Clothing

Recommend using sunscreen on back of neck, shoulders, face and arms as in any kind of weather you can get burnt.

Shirts - Recommend wearing lightweight singlet or the official quick dry material singlet given out at registration if you have paid and registered before the race. Quick dry material will dry fast when wet.

Shorts - Normal running shorts are fine. See running short specials at Action X Store www.actionxstore.com (Sheung Wan, Discovery Bay) Go recce the course and find out which is best for you.

 

限晒及衣著

建議在頸、肩膊、臉及手涂上防晒,以避免晒傷。另建議穿上輕便快乾背心及跑步短褲,如大會提供紀念背心。
