The Hong Kong trail running community can now vote on the nominations for trail runners, including categories such as female and male runner of the year and masters runner for athletes over 45.

Stone Tsang Siu-keung, a stalwart of the Hong Kong running scene, is featured six times.

John Ellis, founder of the Gone Running website and the awards organiser, told the Post: “There’s a huge amount of blood, sweat and tears that goes into every Hong Kong trail running season, so we wanted to create a forum for the community to publicly recognise all of those awesome runners, race organisers and volunteers who make the local scene so special and vibrant.”
