HK Run Fest 2026 runner reviews and race reports

Stories from those who ran it first.

From the joy of finishing to the tough moments — read what runners wrote themselves.

Race reports: 1
cowcowblogRan in 2019 · Finish time 67m58s
“My total time was 67 minutes, 58 seconds.”

At Mizuno Hong Kong Guy 10km, the runner held the target pace for the first 5km. Inadequate hydration and a disrupted rhythm led to alternating running and walking in the second half. The runner picked up speed at the end to finish in 67 minutes, 58 seconds, then reflected on the need for longer training runs.

More details

Getting to the start

大學站 University Station (MTR East Rail Line)

Venue is Hong Kong Science Park Plaza, Shatin. From University Station take KMB bus 272A or 272K, or Citybus 582, directly to the Science Park; alternatively minibus 27/27A from Sha Tin Station.

Getting to the finish

大學站 University Station (MTR East Rail Line)

Finish is at the same Science Park Plaza venue as start.

Start shuttle

No dedicated organizer shuttle bus confirmed on the official page; regular public bus/minibus routes from University Station serve the venue directly.

IC 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.

Registration is available only by online credit-card payment (Visa or Mastercard),

and closes early once capacity is reached (in fact, all events were sold out as of June 24, 2026).

Entry fee was HK$400 for the 10km, HK$360 for the 5km and HK$320 for the 3km.

Finishers receive an event commemorative T-shirt, Mizuno socks, a Mizuno umbrella and a finisher finisher medal,

while runners placing 1st–3rd in each category receive Mizuno vouchers.

The team event (Team Cup) is formed separately in teams of 20 for the 10km and 10 for the 5km, with team registration closing on October 6.

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