| | AVOHK 30th Anniversary Results | Everyone had a great time at the 30th Anniversary team run held last Saturday at Pak Tam Chung with a lot of team spirit in evidence. Many team members crossed the line together as they helped each other along making the event fun for everyone. The staggered start made team tactics important and you could see many teams had spent time working out the best strategy for the race.
There was an incredible turnout with only 3 teams not making it on the day which shows a definite interest in team events in Hong Kong. Even with such a large field the event went off without hitches thanks to the efforts of Dave, Phil and all the helpers. A big thanks to everyone who helped out and made this event possible.
Club Italia took the trophy with RMH and then AVOHK filling out the top 3. CCC Mong Man Wai College fielded two teams taking home the junior trophies. Congratulations to everyone.
Results can be found here with finish positions here

|  | | AVOHK 30th Anniversary | AVOHK is 30 years young in 2012.
To celebrate our survival we will hold a fun team race at Pak Tam Chung , Sai Kung on May 12th. In essence this is a run for teams of 6, male, female, mixed, juniors and seniors. It is structured as a time trial with the last member of the team to complete the course dictating the position the team comes.
We have had an incredible response to this event with team applications far exceeding our expectations. Due to limits imposed on us by permits we have had to limit the number of teams accepted, the final accepted team list can be found here. We have tried to be as fair as possible in selecting teams and have had to limit the number of multiple entry teams as well as allocating spots based on a first come first served basis.
We understand that some teams will be disappointed at not receiving spot in the race but we thank everyone for their interest in this event. If your team isn't on the list you will not be able to run so please do not turn up on the day hoping to start. If teams drop out we will allocated the additional spots to the teams on the waiting list. If any team decides not to run please tell us immediately so we can reallocate your entry.
Race is now full but for more info or to volunteer to help please contact avohk.
