The Hong Kong marathon which takes place on the 25 January 2015 will have a new course as runners in the marathon, the half marathon, the youth dash, the 3km wheelchair race and the Leaders Cup will all turn into Percival Road from Lockhart Road for the final kilometre. Runners will then run along Hennessy Road, Yee Wo Street and Sugar Street to reach the finishing point in Victoria Park. Meanwhile, instead of crossing the Tai Hang Road Flyover, participants in the 10km Wheelchair Race will enter Victoria Park via Paterson Street and Kinston Street. Over 73,000 runners – marathon: 15,000, the half marathon: 23,000, 10km: 35,000 – will compete in this year’s races and the slightly flatter route is expected to help all runners achieve better times.
If you want to watch the race, the start is at 7am on Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui and the first marathon finishers are expected to arrive in Victoria Park around 9:15.

Now in it’s fifth year the HK100 is an ultra endurance race which starts at Pak Tam Chung on the Sai Kung Peninsula and covers some of the most beautiful scenery in Hong Kong, including remote and unspoilt beaches, ancient forests, nature trails, reservoirs and steep hills. The course is based around the famous Maclehose Trail, but with some diversions to ensure that runners spend more time in its most scenic sections, as well as finishing with the descent from Hong Kong’s highest peak (Tai Mo Shan). The course involves a cumulative elevation gain of over 4500 meters and the cut-off time is 32 hours.
