About This Event
Challenge yourself at the HK50 West, a premier Hong Kong Ultra Marathon Trail Run organized by Action Asia Events and race 3 of the HK50 series. Perfect for international trail runners looking to conquer Hong Kong’s highest mountain, this highly scenic event starts and finishes at the beautiful Shing Mun Reservoir.
The Routes:
54km Ultra: Conquer Tai Mo Shan—Hong Kong’s tallest peak—at dawn to witness a breathtaking alpine sunrise. Athletes will then traverse past Route Twisk, descend toward the scenic Ho Pui area, loop around the Tai Lam Chung Reservoir, Tsing Fai Tong, climb back through Tai Lam, and hike up half way up Tai Mo Shan a second time before a fast, final descent.
25km Mountain Distance: This challenging mid-distance route also tackles the steep slopes of Tai Mo Shan, pushing runners to the Checkpoint 1 Tsuen Kam Au Kiosk turnaround point, half way up Tai Mo Shan to the gate, before heading back down along the fast-flowing trails and catchwater to the Shing Mun Reservoir finish line.
11km Sprint: A tough but accessible course that guides runners halfway up the grueling ascents of Tai Mo Shan, before navigating a technical descent down to Lead Mine Pass for a comfortable, fast 5km road run to the finish.
Whether you are an elite athlete chasing a 50km ultra Personal Best or an overseas traveler looking for a fast-paced morning run, the HK50 West offers the perfect mix of high-altitude sunrise views, technical single-track, and highly runnable mountain terrain.
