Raleigh Challenge – Wilson Trail

New Route: “Climb the Heavenly Ladder with You”

The Raleigh Challenge – Wilson Trail (RCWT) was first launched as an internal event in 2000 with the aim to raise funds for Raleigh Hong Kong. Due to the good response from the participants, the event has been open to the public since 2003. The race starts at the Parkview in Hong Kong Island, then reaches the “Tsz Kong Bridge” via Tai Tam Reservoir Road, where participants begin their journey on the Wilson Trail. The route traverses through mountains, peaks and urban landscapes. In 2025, the “Raleigh Challenge – Wilson Trail” will include the “Heavenly Ladder (The Twin Peaks)” into the journey!

New Course: Speed and Passion

This year RCWT introduced a revamped course with three distance options: 12 km, 25 km, and 50 km races. There will be individual and team categories, aiming to cater different trail-running enthusiasts!

“Wilson Trail · Youth · World”
The Raleigh Challenge – Wilson Trail is a fundraising event for the Raleigh Hong Kong. Through organizing this event, Raleigh youth volunteers could learn to be confident, improve communication, planning, and time management skills, and gain a deeper understanding of their strengths and weaknesses.
