AVOHK Races

A last minute request from the authorities to start the runners in Batches. So at 9am on Sun 12th Oct 2025 the Ladies went first and 5 mins later the Men started. The runners made their way up the Hill past Parkview and into the Country Park and returning the same way. The course is estimated to be around 11.5km and challenging. Christopher Whitehead MO led the runners home in a very creditable time of 50 mins 43 secs and the first woman was Susy Walmsley W50 in 59 mins 18 secs. Some other notable results. Young Natasha Douin LO first in her category in 1hr 6 mins and 12 secs, Rod Henderson in the M55 category winner was 4th overall in 54 mins and our 2 ageless stalwarts of AVOHK, Susan Ko W75 winner in 1hr 30mins 34 secs and 87 years old John Fowler M80+ winner in 2hrs 3 mins and 25 secs. A big thank you to Race Director Phil Booth and the team of AVOHK volunteers who made the race a success. See you all at Aberdeen on Sun 26th Oct 2025.

On a very hot and humid morning, 235 runners set off for the 3rd race of the 2025 AVOHK 5K Series held over Wan Chai Gap and Black’s Link.. The most difficult of the four races. There is a steep climb after the start, rugged terrain in the middle and 700m of downhill to the finish. Chong See Yeung made light work of the course and came home in a very fast 17.19, with Wong Kai Lok 2nd in 18.54 and Sebastian Cotton M35 3rd in 19.00. Hannah Bainbridge W45 led the ladies home again in 22.35 with Chan Suk Ting W35 2nd lady home in 23.28 and 3rd lady was Amie Shuttleworth W40 just behind in 23.29. Good turnout from the runners and some very impressive performances. A big thank to Race Director Freeman Lee and the AVOHK Committee for putting on a wonderful race. A special shout out and thanks to Vicent and the Medal presentation team.

Thank you to all the runners that took part in the 2025 Malcolm Phillips 5km age graded race on Sat 10th May 2025, especially those from AVOHK & HKLRRC.

This is a great way to remember our dear friend Malcolm a member of both running clubs who sadly passed away in 2006.  It was a real bonus that Cindy Phillips, Malcolms lovely wife who was on hand to present the prizes,  but also took part in this historic club race.

A big thank you to Race Directors, David Woo and Frank Riehm, who put on a wonderfully organized race and thank you to the many volunteers who assisted in making this race a success. Congratulations to Ladies Overall Winner Angel Lo and Men’s Overall Winner Nicholas Forde.
