Yesterday, Eric Lahaie who recently joined the Raidlight team, finished 3rd at the Green Power 50km in a time of 3h57min. Eric finished just behind William Davies (3h54) and the winner Darren Benson (3h48min, Champion System Adventure Team).
"Perfect day for racing the cooler weather and overcast skies. Greenpower is one of the fastest trail races in HK because of the fairly flat terrain and a lot of cement. I tried to keep Darren and Will in my sights, but lost them around the mid way point. Then on the long 8k Tai Tam catch water before ShekO road I ran a really good leg and nearly caught Will. But he was just too strong up and over Dragon's Back and down to the finish. Still very happy with 3rd and knocking 1 minute off my pb."

We cannot expect such fast times for the Lantau50 as much more elevation and less than 10% cement section. We estimate instead that the fastest time should be ~5h30.
