DO read this entire page carefully before RSVP, please!

Always check-in in person with the PT host for your 1st 5 hikes if you don't have PT designation after your name. All hikes start after 6:00 pm. Then keep moving forward and upward, maximum group size as per Government Guidelines.

Do not RSVP unless you have done a PT Induction (usually scheduled on either the 1st Monday or 1st Wednesday of each month;) otherwise, you will be removed, NO Induction, NO PT hikes, NO exception!

PT hikes are scheduled on Monday, Wednesday and Friday every week. We start the PT hikes from Admiralty MTR station, 3 Pacific Place (PP3) to HKU via the Peak. Participants must go through a PT Induction session for safety reasons in order to participate in the regular sessions with title "For hikers who did a PT Induction."

Please note: the primary objective for PT is to build fitness and cardio through a string of intensive night hikes using the same route. In order to obtain the 'PT' designation after one's name, one must complete 5 PT hikes within the same month. If you choose to attend the Induction hike again, it will be counted as 1 of the 5 hikes.

No shows or the last-minute dropouts as determined by hosts will be removed from Hong Kong Hiking Meetup group per protocol.

Please read the following carefully before RSVP:

1. Attend a PT Induction so you know the route and some ground rules for safety reasons.
2. Attend minimum of 5 times (including the PT Induction) within the same month to get your PT designation. Training sessions of same route have been scheduled on Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the month after the initial PT Induction.
