VOLUNTEER
27 – 28 Feb 2027 · Tai Lam to Tai Po Tau · Every runner needs a crew
Sign up to volunteerNo race puts runners on the ridgeline alone. Behind every finisher is a checkpoint that was stocked, a junction that was marked, a head torch that was handed over in the dark, and a voice that shouted them up the last climb. That crew is you.
The 9 Dragons runs across two days and through the night, over some of the toughest trail in Hong Kong. We need volunteers at every checkpoint, on the course, and at the finish line — runners or not, locals or visitors, first-timers or veterans. If you want to see the race from the inside and be part of something that runners remember for years, come and join us.
Give a few hours. Get a front-row seat to grit, and a crew that feels like family.
Where we need you
PICK YOUR POST
Checkpoint & aid station crew
The heartbeat of the race. Fill bottles, refuel runners, log bib numbers, keep the energy high and the cut-offs honest. Day and overnight shifts available across the course.
Course marking & sweeping
Help set the route before the gun and clear it after the last runner. Get out on the trail, learn the lines, and make sure nobody takes a wrong turn on the ridge.
Start & finish line
Welcome runners in, hand out bibs and finisher swag, manage bag drop, and roar every single runner across the line — from the first elite to the final headlamp at midnight.
Photo, social & media
Capture the suffering and the celebration. If you shoot, film or post, help us tell the story of the ridgeline as it happens.
Running clubs & crews
Bring your whole crew. Staff a checkpoint together, cheer as a club, or take on a section as a team. Group volunteering is the best weekend on the trail calendar — and we make it worth your while.
