I'd like to start running outdoors, but live in Sheung Wan which seems to be a bit of a concrete jungle. Can anyone recommend any good running routes in the area that don't involve masses of traffic, fumes or roadworks?

Thanks.

Hong Kong is blessed with some of the best running routes a city could have in its close vicinity.

To begin with you could try the ubiquitous Bowen Road run, this can join up with Black's Link and also on up to the Peak.

On Hong Kong island there is the Wilson trail which is around 60km long and takes you away from urban areas.

Otherwise, you have the Maclehose trail in New Territories and Lantau island which has many trails on it for running some of which are almost completely wild.

What sort of distance were you thinking of?

I'm looking for stuff in the immediate area so I can run after getting home from work. I've tried going up Pokfulam Rd, but because it's so steep the bus fumes get really thick.
