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.

Average 28°C.

In Hong Kong in September, cooling your body is part of managing pace.

Drink water, but also pour it over your head and the back of your neck, and use shaded sections to settle your breathing.

Entry fee uses tiered pricing, ranging from 360 HKD to 410 HKD depending on when you register.

On a trail course, the surface determines your time.

Wear trail shoes with good grip, and on wet roots and rocky sections, focus on staying upright rather than trying to make up time.

The start is at 09:00.

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