The Hardrock Hundred Endurance Run is one of the most prestigious 100 mile trail ultramarathons. It has a 25 year history and traverses the San Juan mountains in Colorado every July along a looped trail course at altitudes up to nearly 4,300m. Hardrock is notoriously difficult to gain entry into and equally difficult to finish. Learn about effective strategies to enter, prepare for and succeed at Hardrock.
Many trail runners limit themselves to solely train and race on trails. How about mixing it up with some road running and racing? Find out what it takes to train for a mixed season and master two vastly different events such as Hardrock and Spartathlon, a 246km nonstop road race from Athens to Sparta in Greece.

Our speaker Andre Blumberg is a TRAHK founding member and an accomplished ultramarathon runner who specialises in distances of 100 miles and longer. In 2018, Andre won and set a new course record at the TorTour de Ruhr, a 230km road race in Germany. Just nine weeks later he completed the mountainous Hardrock Hundred for the second time in as many years. Ten weeks after that he went back on the road to finish Spartathlon in a respectable time of 29 hours. Andre will talk about goal setting, his preparation for these races including training strategy, mental preparation, nutrition, gear and how to fit it all into a single season.

THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO TRAHK MEMBERS ONLY. PLS SIGN UP FOR MEMBERSHIP AT WWW.TRAHK.ORG and you will receive RSVP form. 100 seats are available, on a first-come-first serve basis.

Event rundown:
18:30 Doors open
19:00 Andre's talk – 45 mins
19:45 Brief sharing by Joint Dynamics expert – 30 mins
20:15 Q&A and discussion with both speakers – 45 mins

The 2018 edition of the Trail World Championships took place in Castellón de la Plana, Spain on May 10, 2018. Co-administered by the International Association of Ultrarunners and the International Trail Running Association and hosted by the Penyagolosa Trails Race Organization, the championships course had a distance of 85km (53 miles), 4,900 meters (16,000 feet) of climbing and 3,700m (12,000 ft) of descent.  The course begins at almost sea level on Spain’s Mediterranean Coast and climbs through the at times vertiginous and almost always hilly landscape to finish at the Sant Joan de Penyagolosa sanctuary on Penyagolosa Mountain, at 1,280m (4,200 ft) altitude. 

Spain's Luis Alberto Hernando won a third successive men's title and Ragna Debats of the Netherlands won the female's title. Spain also won the team title, while Great Britain and France took the runner-up team titles. 

For the first time, Leung Ying Suet and Stone Tsang Siu Keung represented Hong Kong in the championships and we are proud to see both finishing the race, despite intense competition and a very tough course. Their participation at the Trail World Championships would not have been possible without the support of the Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association much gratitude to team leader Mr. Joseph Wong providing the much needed support at the checkpoints for our Hong Kong runners.
