START

Charles K. Kao Auditorium Plaza, Hong Kong Science Park, Pak Shek Kok, Tai Po

Start · Google Maps

This race is held not in central Hong Kong but at the Hong Kong Science Park in Pak Shek Kok, Tai Po.

The start and finish are set up in the plaza in front of the Charles K. Kao Auditorium inside the Science Park,

also known as “Golden Egg Plaza.” Located in a high-tech industrial park along the coast of Tolo Harbour,

the venue is characterized by an open landscape of wide walkways and low-rise buildings, unlike central Hong Kong.

The 10km, 5km and 3km individual GO RUN events, along with the newly introduced 1km team obstacle race GO FUN,

are all designed as a course around and within the Science Park site.

However, an official course map showing the checkpoints for each section had not been published on the event website at the time of reporting.

Typical race-season temperature: around 22°C (71°F): Short sleeves — hydrate for the warmth
