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.

October averages 25°C.

In Hong Kong at this time of year, the perceived temperature can feel very different in the morning and during the day.

It feels cool at start line, but you face direct sunlight later in the race, so a hat can make a difference over the final 5 km.

Registration is handled through the njuko online platform linked from the official website.

With such a short distance, your warm-up directly affects your time.

Start warming up gently 20 minutes before the start, and run the first kilometre slightly slower than your target pace.

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