COURSE DETAILS

The start and finish will come in a slightly different way so be aware that the start will leave the Tung Chung MTR and go direct to the bike path by the taxi stand. When returning around 150 meters before the MTR you will run thru the tunnel on the bike path and do a left turn taking you around 100 meters to the entrance between the residential buildings where you will do a right turn and run 100 meters to the finish by the Pizza Hut in the square. This will be explained at the start and will be marked with Salomon A5 size signs and red ribbon.

The course will leave Tung Chung along the WALKING PATH heading towards the fire station. After the fire department keep on the walking path towards the footbridge and at the top of the footbridge the 21km LONG CATEGORY TURNS LEFT towards Wong Lung Hang Valley while the 15km Shorter category GOES STRAIGHT.

15km category will keep going straight ahead until end of the bridge and continue heading towards the direction of Tung Chung Bay and the Ngong Ping 360 along the hiking path next to bike path. 15km category to turn left near toilet block at Hau Wong Temple and run along path to Shek Mun Kap, Lo Hon Monastery, Tei Tong Tsai and water cp joining 21km route near Ngong Ping turn to Nei Lek Shan trail.

21km Long will turn left on top of footbridge after fire department to Wong Long Hang Valley, turn right at end of footbridge (when heading to Wong Long Hang direction) and only go right for 50 meters to intersection of Tung Chung Road and Wong Lung Hang Road. Here left turn on Wong Lung Hang Rd and stay on this Wong Lung Hang Rd for heading in the direction of the mountain valley following the river for over 1km. Stay on Wong Lung Hang Road passing the gate and running for over 1km until you see the AFCD signboard and the stairs on your right going up to Sunset Peak (Tai Tung Shan). This is approximately 3km into the race.

Go up the stairs and stay on this Wong Lung Hang Country trail until you meet the Lantau trail near the top and turn right at the AFCD map signboard. This is approx 5.1km (707m elevation) into race. Stay on the Lantau trail passing thru a few mountain huts on top of Sunset Peak (807m high point) and following Lantau trail down the other side to Pak Kung Au - 347m (7.8km into race) (heading in direction of Lantau Peak). This will be your first water cp so make sure you fill up as still another big hill in front of you. There will be a cut off here and those not making the cut off will be sent down Tung Chung Road to the Shek Mun Kup entrance and following the 15km course backwards to Tung Chung.

Be careful crossing the Pak Kung Au road (Tung Chung Road) as they built a fence. You must run up to the new crosswalk and run back down past bus stop and up stairs. Many buses and taxis flying by.

Continue up Lantau trail going up over Lantau Peak (934 m) (10.5km into race) then down towards Ngong Ping direction on same trail. When you reach the bottom of the stairs and arrive at all these “totem poles” (Wisdom Poles) in a grassy area around 20m x 10m in size do a right turn as this is the new Lantau trail diversion. Stay on this Lantau trail going NORTH towards the direction of Nei Lak Shan and after 200m you will cross a cement road path (12.4km). This is the next water cp. Still along ways to go so make sure you refill here. This will also be wear the 15km route intercepts so many of you will see 15km particpants on the trail in front of you at this point.

Cross the road and stay on the Lantau trail going around Nei Lak Shan until you hit a 3 way junction. Lantau trail goes left but you will go straight staying on Nei Lak Shan trail all the way contouring around the mountain until you reach the cable car tower.

When you arrive at the cable car tower (15km (561m) you have exactly 5km to the finish or 3km to the bottom of the rescue trail. You must climb the little artificial grassy ramp behind the cable tower to go completely around the tower to get on the actual stairs leading down the final Cable Car Rescue Trail. Please be very careful running down this trail as there are sections definitely not made for running as sheer drop offs that are steep so please be very careful. 95% of the trail is very easy but 5% be careful. You will see MTR has put signs at these sections so please pay attention to these signs.

When you finish the cement stair case trail hitting the bottom near Tung Chung Bay, turn right (2.8km to finish) and stay on the footpath that will be marked leading you back to the bike path and the flyover bridge that you ran on earlier. Stay on the flyover bridge bike path or footpath heading back to the fire station and down the tunnel on the bike path, remember just before the MTR you’ll do a left turn on the run bike path and go around the buildings next to MTR and do a right turn leading into the MTR square which is an extra 100m or so extra running.

Lastly PLEASE BE VERY CAREFULL RUNNING INTO THE MTR SQUARE BY CITYGATE AS WE DON’T WANT TO SPOIL THE RACE BY HAVING SOME RUNNER HITTING SOME CHILD OR ADULT CAUSING AN INJURY. SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND LOOK AROUND YOU WHEN RUNNING TO THE FINISH.
