Last year, AEV SVP and Chief Strategy & Investment Officer Robert McGregor spent endless hours on the stairs of NAC Tower to train for the 50km Green Power Hike, an annual hiking event in Hong Kong. For the fourth consecutive year, Robert managed to complete the hilly, demanding and yet beautiful course – taking almost 61,000 steps to finish after 9 hours and 29 minutes.
So is Robert going to continue with his daily trips from the ground floor to the 20th and back down again in the evening?
“No way – not for several months! In fact, I need to ask for the elevator policy to be changed so that I can alight at the 20th!” he said. “Every year when I finish this hike, I tell myself ‘never again’ – but it is such a magical day out that tests your physical and mental endurance, that I just keep coming back.”
