HONG KONG<\/span><\/span>, Oct. 2, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Organised by Green Power, the 33rd Green Power Hike – the great annual charity hiking event – will commence on 31 January (Saturday) 2026.<\/b>\u00a0Individuals and groups are welcome to participate in the 50km, 25km and 10km races. In addition to six Corporate Cups, a new category- School Cup – is created. We invite all schools, business elites and hikers to take up the challenge and enjoy the hike on Hong Kong Trail. The event aims to raise funds to support Green Power’s ongoing efforts in environmental education and nature conservation. Public registration opens on 8 October. Early bird discounts are available until 14 November; limited spots are available – first come, first served.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The theme of the upcoming Green Power Hike is “From Peaks to Nature”: a challenge that transcends physical aptitude for peak conquering and tests one’s capability to protect and preserve nature.\u00a0 The environmental stewardship challenge faced by the participants includes multiple green tasks, such as “Leave No Trace”, “Eco Clean Up”, litter sorting and recycling at finish points etc. Each participant will receive a “Leave No Trace” equipment set\u00a0featuring green messages of “<\/i>Take Your Litter Home“<\/i> and “Clean Up Trails”, aimed at inspiring the public to actively contribute to environmental conservation with heart and dedication.<\/p>\n

First School Cup to Nurture Young Country Park Leaders<\/b><\/p>\n

As the oldest and most prominent annual charity hiking event, the Green Power Hike has drawn over 81,000 participants since 1994. It has been recognised by the UTMB\u00ae Index and the iTRA National League. The upcoming Green Power Hike will feature the School Cup, aimed at encouraging youth to participate in hiking and introducing them to trail running and hiking. This initiative aims to plant the seeds of environmental protection and conservation through experiential learning. The theme of “From Peaks to Nature” is designed to inspire the younger generation to become responsible hikers and to embody the\u00a0 “Leave No Trace” principle in their daily lives.<\/p>\n

Dr\u00a0Cheng Luk Ki, Director of Green Power, said, “Green Power Hike is not just a great annual event for green groups and hikers but also an important platform for carrying forward the conservation spirit. We created the School Cup this time to initiate young people into environmental stewardship so that they can carry on guarding our country parks with enthusiasm. I dare the aspiring eco-stewards to take up the challenge of ‘From Peaks to Nature’, learn how to respect and love nature, and emerge from the rite of passage as future green leaders for the protection of our country parks.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both Corporates and Individuals are welcome to participate in fostering a spirit of green teamwork<\/b><\/p>\n

The 50-kilometre-long Hong Kong Trail is easily accessible by public transport and has been selected by the international travel guide Lonely Planet as one of the top ten city hikes in the world. The race passes through five country parks, including seven reservoirs on Hong Kong Island<\/span> and features renowned attractions such as The Peak, Tai Tam Reservoirs, and Dragon’s Back. It is not only an ordinary hiking trail but a valuable “ecological corridor” rich in biodiversity.<\/p>\n

Green Power will provide participants with detailed information to explore different sections of the trail, allowing them to immerse themselves in Hong Kong’s<\/span> unique natural beauty.\u00a0 The six Corporate Cups offer business organisations opportunities to strengthen team building skills while advancing their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals.<\/p>\n

AXA has served as the title sponsor of the “Green Power Hike” for three consecutive years, mobilising hundreds of employees and financial consultants each year to actively participate in the race and volunteer activities, to promote environmental conservation and healthy living. Sally Wan<\/span>, Chief Executive Officer, AXA Greater China<\/b>, said: “We are truly honored to partner once again with Green Power. Through this annual charity hike, we aim to raise public awareness for climate change and biodiversity conservation. At AXA, our purpose is ‘Act for human progress by protecting what matters’ and we are dedicated to promoting sustainability for society and the environment. We are encouraged by the growing participation in recent years. This year, we are especially excited about the launch of the new ‘School Cup’, which has inspired more young people to focus on Hong Kong’s<\/span> natural ecology and environmental protection. We look forward to continue collaborating with the community to promote green living and build a better, more sustainable future.”<\/p>\n
