This run takes advantage of the new stretch of the Island Line MTR, starting and finishing at Kennedy Town station. It is all road but the pavements are wide here with little foot traffic and the views from Victoria Road make it worth doing. Once you are done with this 10km loop you can grab something to eat or drink at Kennedy Town and watch the world go by along The Praya or in belcher Bay Park.
Start at the station and make your way to Belcher Street and head west. This is where you start running. Head along Belcher Street until it becomes Victoria Road which you are going to pretty much stay on as it winds its way around the west end of the island with some gentle ups and downs as it skirts Mount Davis. Look to your right for views across to Lamma Island.
At the 6km you will pass by Wah Chui Street Sitting Out Area and then come to Pokfulam Road. Turn left here where you will climb for 500m before it flattens out for 1.5km before it begins a gentle descent over the next 2.5km to bring you back to the petrol / gas station at the junction of Pokfield Road where you again turn left and head down the short hill back to Kennedy Town Station.
