About this event
The ATG Workshop Series: Empowering Female Runners event is the first of its kind in Hong Kong. It is designed for women, by women, with female only speakers and presenters.
The workshop is aimed at women of all ages who are either new to trail running and who want to learn more, as well as those who have been running trails for a while and want to take their running to the next level.
Our event aims to educate and increase knowledge around trail running with a specific focus on women's body and health.
In several interactive sessions women will get a chance to find out more about the benefits of running, how to transition successfully to trail, how changes to the female body can impact one’s running and more.
In addition to theory, the event also offers one session of breathwork, strength training and yoga - all of them specifically designed for runners.
To conclude the event, there will be an organised fun run to Victoria Peak Gardens. Participants will split into groups according to their level and will be guided by one of the event leaders. Participants are welcome to invite their friends and families to join them on the Peak for a picnic lunch.
