“I was smiling when I reached and crossed the Finish Line!”

At TransLantau 100 km, a slow start and a strategy of eating and resting at aid stations helped the runner tackle steep stone steps. Searching for trail markers cost about 30 minutes late on, but they finished smiling in 28 hours 50 minutes 11 seconds.

“I completed in a much better state than last year 50km and I guess I m more mentally prepared for this year.”

At TransLantau 100 km, the runner power-hiked with poles through thick fog and steep stone steps. Running became difficult later, but a final return to running brought a first mountain 100 km finish in 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds.

START

Lantau Island

Start · Google Maps

The Trans Lantau 100km category starts at night from Silvermine Bay (Ngau Kwu Long) in Mui Wo, Lantau Island.

The course follows the South Lantau Country Trail to Pak Kung Au, then climbs Lantau Peak (Fung Wong Shan, 934m),

the second-highest peak in Hong Kong, via the Fung Wong Terrace (Phoenix Trail).

It then crosses Sunset Peak (Tai Tung Shan, 854m), passes in front of Po Lin Monastery,

the symbol of Lantau Island, and continues through the Ngong Ping plateau.

Around dawn, runners reach the fishing village of Tai O, famous for its colorful stilt houses,

and about 80% of the entire course consists of singletrack made up of old stone steps and narrow mountain paths,

giving a genuine sense of the raw terrain changes across the two country parks it passes through.

Typical race-season temperature: around 22°C (71°F): Short sleeves — hydrate for the warmth
Elevation gain: TL100 4,500m+

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.

Registration is done online through the UTMB World Series system, and some categories require UTMB Index points.

On the section that requires travel from Tung Chung to an off-island aid station, a transfer via a red urban taxi may be necessary.

In mid-November, Lantau Island has a large day-night temperature difference,

and strong winds at the mountain summits can make the wind chill drop significantly, so windproof and cold-weather gear must be prepared.

The event is held over three days, from November 13 to 15, split by distance.

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