Start shuttle

Race 2 is at Tai Tam Reservoir on Sunday 1 November 2026, 08:30, 11 km. Bibs are collected on race day.

Transit card

Octopus Card

At Hong Kong International Airport: MTR Customer Service Centres in the arrivals hall, counters by the Airport Express platforms, 24/7 self-service vending machines, or the 7-Eleven in the Arrivals hall. Also available at almost any MTR station and convenience stores citywide.

Works directly at the gates Alternative: MTR Tourist Day Pass USD 9.60 (approx.

HK$75) — Only worth it if you're packing in 5+ MTR-only rides in a single day, since it excludes Airport Express, Light Rail first class, and doesn't cover buses/trams/ferries the way Octopus does. Airport/MTR counters sell the Octopus card for HKD cash only, so have Hong Kong dollars ready.

The 'Tourist' Octopus starts from HK$39 with no refundable deposit. Foreign Visa, Mastercard, and UnionPay contactless cards can tap directly at designated light-blue 'Contactless Payment' gates for MTR and Airport Express rides — but only at adult fares, and it doesn't cover Light Rail, MTR buses, or High Speed Rail.

Octopus, by contrast, works across the whole system: MTR, Airport Express, buses, minibuses, taxis, the street tram, Star Ferry, and outlying-island ferries.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Hong Kong in November — with an average temperature of 22°C, it's neither too hot nor too cold for running.

The sun gets stronger toward midday, though, so one light layer to shed before the start is all you need.

Applications for participation are accepted through the AVOHK official website,

and Entry fee is set differently for association members and non-members.

The start is at 08:30.

Times are local to Hong Kong. Check the latest official information before the race.
