The Gurkha Trailblazer in its sixth edition will be held in Hong
Kong on
1 March, 2025.
The event is named in honor of the Nepalese soldiers who lost
their lives in global conflicts fighting for peace.
The race was voted the
“Best New Race”
award at the 2018 Gonerunning Hong Kong Trail Running Awards.
The race covers 2 distances- 12/ 30 km (new route) in the north
east New Territories. All proceeds from the event will go towards
Gurkha Cemeteries Trust’s (GCT) Online High School Diploma Programme
providing Scholarships for Nepalese youth in Hong Kong and Child
Welfare Scheme’s (CWS) projects to support Nepal’s Children and
Young People from Early Childhood Education to Successful Livelihoods.
Child
Welfare Scheme (CWS) envisions a safe and
accessible pathway that successfully leads Nepal’s disadvantaged
children and young people from early childhood education to a
sustainable livelihood. CWS aims to reinforce this pathway so that
no child gets lost or diverted away from it as she grows into adulthood.
CWS was created by Douglas Maclagan who identified the many
unmet needs of women and children in Nepal and designed programmes
to address those needs. CWS’ growth over the years has been organic,
reacting to the needs of the communities and always in line with the
Government’s plans.
