🗺️ Explore and Unlock Territories
Hong Kong is divided into dynamic running zones called Territories. Each territory represents a district or area, and you unlock them simply by running through them.
- How it works: Your synced activity data (from Strava or Polar) is matched to our territory map. Once you’ve run in a new area, that territory becomes unlocked.
- Your Territory Map: You’ll see a visual map showing:
✅ Unlocked territories
🔒 Locked territories
Progress toward full city coverage
It’s like collecting stamps in a passport—except you earn them with your feet.
📍 Flagging Hot Spots: Run Through Landmarks
Hong Kong is packed with iconic attractions, and elites.run turns them into Hot Spots you can discover and flag.
What’s a Hot Spot?
A Hot Spot is a famous location—like Victoria Harbour, Wong Tai Sin Temple, or the Avenue of Stars. These appear on your map with a 🔍 search icon.
How to flag one:
Run near or through the Hot Spot, and it transforms into a ⭐ star icon—marking your achievement.
Why it’s fun:
You’re not just running—you’re sightseeing, collecting badges, and building a visual record of your city adventures.
🏅 Earn Badges for Exploration
Every Hot Spot you flag earns you a badge. These aren’t just digital stickers—they’re proof of your urban exploration.
- Badges are displayed in your profile
- You can track which Hot Spots you’ve flagged
-New badges unlock as you explore more of the city.
Whether you're a local or a visitor, elites.run turns Hong Kong into your personal running playground.
🔍 Search, Discover, Run
Use the built-in map to:
- Search for nearby Hot Spots
- Plan your next run based on what’s still locked

It’s a smart way to stay motivated and make every run feel like a mini adventure.
