About Event

The fifth edition of Gurkha Trailblazer will be held on 24th March 2024. The event is named in honor of the Nepalese soldiers (Gurkhas) who lost their lives in global conflicts fighting for peace. The race also won the "Best New Race" award at the 2018 Gonerunning Hong Kong Trail Running Awards.

The race covers 2 distances- 12/ 30 km in the eastern New Territories. All proceeds from the event will go to Gurkha Cemeteries Trust’s Online High School Diploma Programme providing Scholarships for Nepalese youth in Hong Kong and Child Welfare Scheme’s 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.
