With Covid-19 restrictions remaining in place and the challenges in obtaining necessary permits, we are sad to advise that it is not viable to host the Outward Bound Adventure Race 2021 originally scheduled for 14 March (Sun).
The event has an unbroken yearly history since 2002, and this is the second year in a row it was cancelled due to the pandemic. We understand our race entrants are left disappointed that they will not be able to enjoy the fun and laughter of the day. We are also disappointed as much as you are but it is our responsibility to be a part of the solution to eliminate risk to the general public.
For teams who were deferred from the 2020 event, we will rollover your fees to the 2022 event or Multi Race 2021 which is schedule on 26 Sep (Sun). Details will be announced closer to the event. Both the Adventure Race and the Multi Race raise much-needed funds that share the life-changing experience of an Outward Bound course with Hong Kong youth in need. Covid-19 has affected Outward Bound Hong Kong’s fundraising events as well as our income sources. If you would like to continue supporting Outward Bound through these difficult times, please consider donating some Lai see money HERE!
On behalf of the Organising Committee, I wish to take this opportunity to thank our participants, sponsors, staff and volunteers for their incredible support and understanding during these difficult times. We trust that our actions will enable us all to look forward to a return to normal public health conditions as soon as possible.
In view of the recent developments surrounding the coronavirus and its potential spread, we have decided, with deep regret, the Outward Bound Adventure Race 2020 has been cancelled. The decision was made based on concern for the health and safety of our participants, volunteers, and staff as well as on the uncertain availability of the LCSD venues and facilities.
We are sorry for the disappointment caused. We, unfortunately, have not rescheduled the Race for this calendar year, as no one can predict how long the virus will remain a threat. Obviously, as a not-for-profit organisation that relies upon events like this to raise funds, this was a very difficult decision for us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the support we received from our participants, sponsors, volunteers and staff, and hope to see everyone again next year.
We will contact individual participating teams to advise ongoing arrangements.
Let’s pray for the virus to get under control as soon as possible. Stay safe and healthy!

“Can I take part in the race if I am not a strong swimmer?” The answer is “yes” if you manage to stay calm in the water.
Safety of our participants is our primary concern. Every participant must put on our approved life jackets during water activities. Our safety crew will be there too to support you in any way you need to feel safe and comfortable.
So, the correct question you should ask yourself is: “do I feel ok in water?”

Just because it’s cold and cloudy outside doesn’t mean you can put away your sunscreen.
Protecting skin against UV damage is a year-round commitment. We are so very lucky for having possibly the best sunblock product sponsored by Kiehl's to help hydrate and protect your skin from UV rays and pollution.
冬天天氣陰陰沉沉，但千萬不要被騙以為其紫外線比夏天弱，其實殺傷力也同樣驚人，當感覺到皮膚刺痛就已經太遲了。
所以冬天同樣需要防曬，而我們特找來美國品牌 Kiehl's 贊助外展越野挑戰賽2019的防曬產品，在比賽日於起點為每位參加者提供試用裝，紫外線再強都不用擔心吧!

The Adventure Race 2018 was successfully held on 4 March (Sun). We had so much fun an awesome time and hope you did too. The event was designed for those keen to test their body, mind and physical endurance and we hope you and your friends have plenty of adventure together while raising funds for a worthy cause.
Every year the course was different, and this year, the padding session was meant to be tougher and more challenging. We hope you enjoyed the mystery quiz and the memory game along the course too.
Every single participant should be proud of their accomplishment, whether you barely made it or ended up on the podium. Congratulations again to Team CORES 健衡物理治療 who came first in the elite category with a time of 3:23:05, and Master Frog Men in the challenge category with a time of 3:02:51. Great job to all.
We have already received some amazing pictures of the race which will be uploaded here. Feel free to share! A big thanks to Bely Kwok, Raymond Leung, Dickson Lui and Vincent Wong for their work capturing your joy and pain.
One reason we are able to put on the race is the support through our sponsors and the supporting organisations. They include our main sponsors Vitasoy International Holdings Ltd., The Link Asset Management, GoPro, Latitude, Fujikon, Protrek 保捷行, Reecho.hk, ESCAPADE Sports, Jelly Belly, Jelly Belly, NaturSource, Sconza Chocolates HK, Blue Girl Beer Hong Kong 藍妹啤酒, Kiehl's, Gone Running, Salonpas & SEIKO 精工表. We were also grateful for the help of the St John Ambulance, The Hong Kong Sea School, CORES 健衡物理治療及專項訓練中心 Centre of Rehabilitation & Exercising Specialist and our lovely volunteers to enable we run a safe and successful event.
Last but not least, on behalf of everyone at Outward Bound Hong Kong, thank you for making this event such a success. Without your support and willingness to do something a little more adventurous, it could never have been the success that it certainly was. We look forward to seeing you next year or at the Outward Bound Multi-Race this Sep/Oct.
