Season curtain raiser - CBRE Lantau 2 Peaks

HONG KONG, 29 Sept 2022 – The much-anticipated Trail season curtain raiser - CBRE Lantau 2 Peaks™ will be back at Lantau Island on 2 October (Sunday). This year, the eventsold out almost a month before the actual trail race with government restrictions allowing only 500 to enter.

“Following last year’s tremendous success, we are very proud to be the title sponsor of Action Asia’s CBRE Lantau 2 Peaks Race 2022. Our long-term partnership with Action Asia Events reflects our commitment to promoting a healthy and active lifestyle among our colleagues as well as our strong relationship with the running and hiking community in Hong Kong. CBRE is a leading real estate services company with a highly motivated and energetic workforce. Despite the heat and difficulty of the respective 15km and 23km endurance races, more than 60 CBRE colleagues, friends and clients have taken up the challenge and will be joining hundreds of avid hikers. We are equally delighted to have played a part in driving environment protection initiatives by supporting Ocean Recovery Alliance, an organization that is helping to reduce plastic pollution on land and in water”, said Tom Gaffney, Regional Managing Director, CBRE Hong Kong.

“We thank Action Asia Events for making this hiking event the safest possible for everyone. We believe the HKSAR government’s recent easing of pandemic measures is poised to boost and reinforce this vibrant city’s position as an international sports destination and an important business and financial hub”, said Gaffney.

“We are very glad to be able to partner with a passionate organization like CBRE on this race. The company leads by example with many of their employees taking an active role in contributing to the environment, by getting outside and participating in a race that  equires commitment, dedication and perseverance. With Hong Kong’s quarantine restrictions being relaxed, the overall mood in the city has become more positive. We look forward to welcoming overseas hiking enthusiasts soon to showcase what this beautiful city has to offer," said Michael Maddess, Director of Action Asia Events.

This years’ CBRE Lantau 2 Peaks will not have food on the course or at finish, due to health safety measures, however organizers are allowed water dispensers at checkpoints and the finish for proper rehydration. All participants must be triple vaccinated, perform PCR  tests within 48 hours of the event, conduct RAT test race morning, use the leave home safe app to confirm blue color, wear masks at the start & finish areas and take part in wave starts.

The CBRE Lantau 2 Peaks ™, 23km course like the name says, reaches the 2nd and 3rd highest peak of Hong Kong in Lantau Island – Lantau Peak reaching 934m and Sunset Peak taking participants close to 800m on a very technical and demanding course, with the total elevation gain of the 23km course almost 1900m compared to the 15km course having a total elevation gain 854m. The steep mountain trails are the most strenuous part of the race, with the payoff that participants can enjoy the magnificent views around if they have a chance to look up.

The start and the finish line are both located at the Tung Chung Citygate which is sea level.

The event could not happen without the generous support of the title sponsor CBRE and the supporting partners Action X Store, Royale International, Around DB, Life On Lantau, Fitz, St Johns Ambulance, C3Fit, SaveWo, Watsons Water, Citygate Outlets, ITRA, New Life Plastics and the beneficiary Ocean Recovery Alliance.
