I arrived Hong Kong on 26-Feb. And on 27-Feb, I went down to the Victoria Park to collect the race pack. I arrive around 1pm. There is a BIG sign at the entrance saying that ALL race categories are full.
For the collection booth, there is no queue at all
When I was at the booth, because I did not receive my collection letter, I need to go to another booth to obtain a "letter". They basically verify my registration and write it on a piece of paper saying that verification is done.
The race pack is neatly enclosed in a plastic sling bag.
The rack pack includes a brochure, a runner's guide, a flyer, the event tee, a blue colour bag for baggage deposit, a medal, a pin, my bib, timing chip and baggage tag.
The medal is not a finisher's medal. Every participant gets it. It also does not mark which event your participated.
My bib number is 27865.
On the other side, in the cement soccer field, workers are busy packing up the finisher's goodie bag. It should include water, banana, pear or something like that.
And so as the finishing touch on the finish line
Weather forecast is going to be warm and very humid (possibly 95-100% relative humidity). It is going to be a tough race, especially the early 5km uphill climb towards the stonecutter's bridge reaching the highest point at 80m+ above sea level.
