About the Race
The 10K begins on a short paved stretch, giving runners a smooth and controlled start before the course transitions into the trails. Within the first kilometer, you'll enter the cool cover of a pine forest, weaving through quieter paths near the Forest Wing of Camp John Hay, less traveled but deeply atmospheric.
Route Description
The 10K begins on a short paved stretch, giving runners a smooth and controlled start before the course transitions into the trails. Within the first kilometer, you'll enter the cool cover of a pine forest, weaving through quieter paths near the Forest Wing of Camp John Hay, less traveled but deeply atmospheric.
From there, the route flows into the forest bathing loop, where the terrain becomes more rooted and natural. By KM2, runners will share sections of the trail with hikers as the course approaches the vicinity of the US Embassy property, before opening into a sustained downhill.
This descent leads toward the Kadaclan View Deck at KM4, a key turning point of the race. Don't forget to savour the moment (maybe even take a photograph!) and take in the expansive views briefly before making the U-turn and continuing along the 10K route.
After the turnaround, the course transitions into the lower trails running adjacent to Loakan Road. This section is more grounded and rhythmic, passing a distinct log cabin landmark along the way. Shortly after, a steady 500-meter stretch leads into one of the course's defining climbs.
The ascent brings you to a well-known junction marked by signposts of Camp John Hay's blue, red, and yellow trails. It's a clear checkpoint and a shift in terrain. From here, the route reconnects with shared trails, where awareness and trail courtesy come into play.
By KM7, you'll arrive at the Riding Circle, a unique highlight of the course featuring an open horse-riding area. Runners complete a short loop here before retracing their steps back along the same trail.
The final stretch is a gradual push back, climbing toward KM9.2 where you'll reach the Treetop Adventure junction. From here, the course exits the trails and leads back toward Scout Hill, guiding you into the final approach and finishing back at the race village.
