Hong Kong 100 runners, some suffering from hypothermia, board a shuttle bus at checkpoint 8 at dawn on Sunday (January 24, 2016) after the race was suspended.
150th Scouts and St John Ambulance staff helped scores of cold, wet, and exhausted runners in the early hours of Sunday, 83 kilometers into the race.
Temperatures in Hong Kong plunged to the lowest point in almost 60 years, forcing organisers of the Vibram® Hong Kong 100 to suspend the race in the early hours of Sunday morning (January 24). The summit of Hong Kong’s tallest mountain, Taimoshan, was covered in frost and ice, with temperatures dropping below -5.
The course involves a cumulative elevation gain of over 4500 meters and the cut-off time is 30 hours.
Location: Shing Mun reservoir, Hong Kong
