About the event

A great introductory course for the MSIG HK50 series as this first 24km is not high in elevation and rolling flat areas to make up lots of kilometers and not terribly difficult until you hit the 2nd half with lots of short steep climbs up the beautiful and challenging Mt Parker taking in the ridge line down to the Boa Vista trail, with Mt Butler, Jardines Lookout and Violet Hill to add to the fun and pain.
