100km from Sai Kung's coast to Hong Kong's highest peak — a city-to-summit epic
The flagship HK100 traverses 100km from Pak Tam Chung in Sai Kung west to Tai Mo Shan (957m), Hong Kong's highest peak. The first half winds around the stunning Sai Kung coast — passing UNESCO Global Geopark rock formations, remote beaches, and ancient fishing villages. The second half turns inland with relentless climbing: behind Lion Rock with sweeping Kowloon city views, through Shing Mun's macaque-inhabited trails, and over Needle Hill and Grassy Hill before the final push to Tai Mo Shan. Most of the 5,000m of climbing is concentrated in the back half, demanding smart pacing and strong finishing ability. Almost all runners cover at least some of the course in darkness.

This edition has its own course and we haven't mapped it yet. The interactive map, elevation profile and aid stations will appear here once the route is confirmed.
We do have the 2026 route on file. We aren't showing it here, because a race's course — and sometimes its finish line — can move between editions, and a stale map is worse than no map.
Aid stations for this edition aren't published yet. They'll appear here once the route is confirmed.
January temperatures range 10–18°C with cold snaps possible from mainland China, especially on exposed ridges and at Tai Mo Shan summit
