The teams started off from Tsuen Wan Police Station in the morning of January 7, trekking rugged hill paths according to their own designed routes to reach Tai Tong in Yuen Long. After camping overnight in Tai Tong, they were on the way again the next day, reaching the final destination in Yuen Long Police Station in the afternoon to the cheers and applauses of their families and supporters.
