Cutoff
10 hours (based on the previous edition)

A 34km course with 1,558m of total climbing, starting at Pak Tam Chung, passing the East Dam and returning to Pak Tam Chung.

HK100 (香港100) is Hong Kong's premier mountain trail race, having grown from a field of 200 in 2011 to 3,600 runners starting together in 2018.

It has also served as the opening race of the world's top trail series, the Ultra-Trail World Tour (UTWT).

Today, in addition to the 100km main race, it runs as a three-event series with the 33-34km "The Third" and the 53km "The half marathon",

and finishing all three races earns runners a separate "Grand Sam" title.

The Third is the shortest event in the series, starting at cut-off point, Pak Tam Chung on the Sai Kung Peninsula in northeastern Hong Kong,

and running as a loop course through coastal trails, beaches, and old villages, over mountains and valleys, and back to Pak Tam Chung.

With about 1,460m of cumulative elevation gain, it's considered an cut-off point course within the HK100 series that even trail-running beginners can take on.

Elevation gain: 1460 m
Typical race-season temperature: around 16°C (61°F): Short sleeves — hydrate for the warmth
Series: HK100 Grand Slam (The Third·The Half·HK100)

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.

As of the previous year, The Third started at 8:00 a.m. with a time limit of 10 hours (exact times may vary slightly each year).

The Hong Kong government caps the total number of participants across the event, and each division's field is allocated within that limit.

Aside from a few exceptions — past champions, previous-year volunteers, runners with a perfect attendance record, and sponsor invitations —

most participants are selected by lottery,

so the registration schedule and lottery method should always be confirmed via announcements on the official website.

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