START

Sha Tin

Shing Mun River jogging track, 5km turnaround point out-and-back, approximately 97% flat

The RMAC “Sha Tin 10K” Half-Year Edition is a 10 km road race organized by Hong Kong Marathon Pro (HKMP).

HKMP was founded in 1999 by marathon enthusiasts and is known for regularly hosting small, officially certified 10K races across Hong Kong.

This Sha Tin 10K is the flagship event in the series.

As indicated by the “21.5th edition” designation, it is a long-running race with the unusual practice of counting half-editions.

Course consists of approximately 97% flat, straight sections along the Shing Mun River jogging track,

making it known among Hong Kong runners as a speedy course suited to chasing a personal best.

The out-and-back course has one turnaround point at the 5 km mark and passes riverside sights in the Sha Tin area around course,

including Siu Lek Yuen, boating restaurants, the Shing Mun River channel, and the Ma On Shan Promenade.

Organizer: Hong Kong Marathon Pro (HKMP, est. 1999)
Typical race-season temperature: around 20°C (68°F): Short sleeves — hydrate for the warmth

Getting to the finish

Transit card

Octopus Card

At Hong Kong International Airport: MTR Customer Service Centres in the arrivals hall, counters by the Airport Express platforms, 24/7 self-service vending machines, or the 7-Eleven in the Arrivals hall. Also available at almost any MTR station and convenience stores citywide.

Works directly at the gates Alternative: MTR Tourist Day Pass USD 9.60 (approx.

HK$75) — Only worth it if you're packing in 5+ MTR-only rides in a single day, since it excludes Airport Express, Light Rail first class, and doesn't cover buses/trams/ferries the way Octopus does. Airport/MTR counters sell the Octopus card for HKD cash only, so have Hong Kong dollars ready.

The 'Tourist' Octopus starts from HK$39 with no refundable deposit. Foreign Visa, Mastercard, and UnionPay contactless cards can tap directly at designated light-blue 'Contactless Payment' gates for MTR and Airport Express rides — but only at adult fares, and it doesn't cover Light Rail, MTR buses, or High Speed Rail.

Octopus, by contrast, works across the whole system: MTR, Airport Express, buses, minibuses, taxis, the street tram, Star Ferry, and outlying-island ferries.
