28th HKSOS x Sowers Action Challenging 12 Hours Charity Trail Marathon 2026

The race takes place in Hong Kong every year in early November, when Hong Kong is typically at its driest and most comfortable time of year.

Average temperatures are around 22°C—warm enough for running in light clothing during the day,

but cooler in the early morning and after sunset, when a light outer layer is useful.

Humidity is also much lower than in summer, so the heat feels more manageable on the mountain trails.

Course follows a classic Hong Kong mountain trail along the Wilson Trail,

with repeated stone steps and climbs, so trail shoes or hiking shoes and trekking poles are recommended.

Since you only need to finish within the 12-hour time limit, many participants alternate between walking and running to manage their pace.

The Sowers Action Challenge 12 Hours is a charity race organized by Sowers Action,

and Entry fee and the funds raised support children from low-income families and disadvantaged backgrounds in Hong Kong's mountain communities.

The race's charitable purpose, with every finish contributing to donations, is itself a motivating factor for many participants.
