Last call for the Dowman Road Race

0 Photo

The 50th Dowman Road Race, the biggest Force sporting event, will be run over the same course as last year and will start at 10am on Saturday February 8. The Commissioner, Mr Tsang Yam-pui, is the official guest and will present the trophies at the end of the race.

The race will start at Pak Tam Chung, just beyond the country park barrier, and climb to the head of the High Island Reservoir. It then follows the Man Yee Road along the southern side of the reservoir, passes over the main dam and up the hill to the six kilometre turning point. The course is the same for men and women.

Have You Registered

If you hope to be running in this special 'Golden Jubilee' run make sure you have registered to do so by Friday January 10, either through your formation/unit or direct with Hong Kong Island Emergency Unit Chief Inspector Mr Ng Ming-fung on telephone 2841-6571, Fax 2525-7020 or PEN cip-eu-hki@police.gov.hk

Competitors must report to the Course Marshall by 9:30am and be lined-up by 9:55am for a prompt 10am start. Seeded runners, those likely to finish within 50 minutes will be on the start line, the rest will be behind them. To prevent head-on clashes on the return all runners must run on the left.

There is a $35 entry fee to offset the cost of organising the race but that will include refreshments which will be provided to runners at the finish and there is a water point at the half-way mark. There are no showers or changing rooms available. Runners should ensure they have suitable clothing available for after the run. The AMS will be providing an ambulance and first aid service at the site.

There will be more medals and trophies for this year's event than ever before. If you can't run, come and encourage those who can. If you can run, see how well you do against our runners in Veterans III category. The over 50s may well surprise you.

Do ensure that your registration is made in the format laid down.
