The route passes coastal paths, beaches, and old villages before crossing hills and valleys, with more than 2,200m of elevation gain.

The half marathon is the middle-distance event in the Hong Kong 100 series.

Like The Third, it starts at Pak Tam Chung in Sai Kung and follows the coastline around the peninsula before returning to Pak Tam Chung, covering 53km course.

With around 2,200m of elevation gain, it includes more demanding mountain sections than The Third.

Because it follows a substantial portion of the 100km main race course,

it is regarded as a distance that combines Hong Kong 100’s characteristic mountain terrain with spectacular coastal scenery.

Participants who complete The Third, The half marathon, and the 100km main race all earn the “Grand Slam” title.

Elevation gain: 2200 m
Typical race-season temperature: around 16°C (61°F): Short sleeves — hydrate for the warmth
Aid stations: CP1 Dongba (10km)·CP2 Sai Wan Pavilion (17km)·CP3 Pak Tam Au (28km)·CP4 Pak Sha O (36km)·CP5 Yung Shue O (44km), emergency medical aid at each checkpoint
Series: HK100 Grand Sam(The Third·The Half·HK100)
