Trail Mix | Top Hong Kong runners’ New Year resolutions – from enjoying running and family time, to more sleep and inspiring domestic helpers
- The best trail runners in Hong Kong have set their sights on a range of goals, including inspiring fellow runners and giving back to the community
It’s a new year, a new decade. And for many of us, it’s a time to set new goals or revisit old ones.
My resolution: to always know why I’m running, and to be excited by that why. It could be something as simple as exploring a new city, or to clear my mind. It might be a quantifiable goal, like improving my time over a certain distance Whatever it is, I want to head out the door knowing what it is that I seek on the roads and trails.
Since we all have different approaches to the sport, I wanted to hear what other athletes have on their mind as we look towards the new year.
William Hayward
One of the most nail-biting trail performances last year was Hayward’s debut at the infamous Big Dog Backyard Ultra in Tennessee, US, known as “the race with no end.” There, he ran 59 6.7km loops to complete 395km, coming second to Maggie Guterl.
All those miles of running have caught up a little to him, “not surprising since I’m an older athlete,” said Hayward, 52.
