Detail Route description for both 15km & 23km and other information (in English only)
賽道詳細資料及其他資訊 (只提供英文版本)

(Please allow elite runners in 23km near the front as many are international). There will be a special elite area near the front at start. Please line up according to your estimated finishing hour.

The start and finish will come in a slightly different way around the building in front of start 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 20m 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 A4 size signs and pink ribbons but encourage you to do a practice warm-up run before start to familiarize yourself with this as will take less than 5 minutes even if walking.

The course will leave Tung Chung along the WALKING PATH starting at the Tung Chung MTR near the Pizza Hut immediately going thru a tunnel after 100m and along the walking path/bike path to a 2nd tunnel after 300m going right into the tunnel (530m into race) and coming out next to Tung Chung fire station. After the fire station keep on the walking path another 400m towards the footbridge and at the top centre of the footbridge (New Hospital will be next to you) top of the footbridge keep going straight ahead until end of the bridge and continue heading towards the direction of Tung Chung Bay (residential buildings on your right side along the way) and the Ngong Ping 360 along the bike path and running path.

After the footbridge to stay right and look for the exit on the right side around 2km into the course, which is around by the river with boats on your right side. When you take this right turn follow the main path on left side of river for 100m before another left turn on main village cement single-track path that you will stay on past a small village white house. You will stay on this path passing the LCSD public toilets on your right side after little right turn and cutting thru the LCSD soccer cement field on waterfront, cross a small bridge by the river and when you are under the Ngong Ping 360 cable cars in Tung Chung Bay you will see the left turn up the 360 cement stairs heading up the mountain at just under 3km into course. You will climb up these stairs until you pass a few towers staying on main 360 cable car rescue trail until you get to Nei Lak Shan cable car tower (elevation 582m), which will be approximately 5.6km in length so far. Please be very careful running on the 360 rescue trail as there are many wooden sections definitely not made for running as sheer drop offs that are steep and if wet (or has rained in past few days) be VERY CAREFUL and use hand rails to hold on and walk where you can't see stairs in front of you. Again please be very careful. You will see MTR has put signs at these steep sections so please pay attention to these signs on 360 cable car trail.

You will go around the 360 cable car tower and TURN LEFT, duck under the little tunnel 2m long, pop out on the other side and run down a little artificial grassy ramp behind the cable tower to get on the main Nei Lak Shan path (20m long), which will be marked with ribbon. TURN LEFT AGAIN. Make sure you do this left turn otherwise you’ll end up going in the wrong direction. When you take this left you will run 2.4km on the Nei Lak Shan single track trail until the first cement road crossing, which is the first Ngong Ping Water check point (CP1) at approximately 9km (447m) into the race.

15k runners - At this water CP 1 the 15k runners will go left and head back towards Tung Chung following the markings thru the Tei Tong Tsai Monastery to Shek Mun Kap to the back of the school before arriving at Tung Chung Road and joining the 23km route at Wong Lung Hang area.

If any 23km runners want to drop out early in the race this is the place at CP1 and please notify the timekeeper telling them you are dropping out of 23km, before shortcutting on the 15k course. 23k runners will be given a DNF if they do this.

At CP1 near Ngong Ping the 23km runners will go straight across the cement road and continue on the dirt track, which is the Lantau trail heading to the wisdom poles and bottom of the Lantau Peak climb. Upon reaching the Wisdom poles Lantau Peak entrance you will do a left turn here approximately 9km into the run and start your big and hardest climb up to the top of the 934m peak roughly 10.3km into the course. Please remember to not kill yourself on this section, but not to stop for too long either as you do have a 5 hour cut-off at Pak Kung Au and still a long way to go. Stay on the Lantau trail up and over Lantau Peak and when going down turn right at the first main sign junction (11.3km - 488m) and continue down a grassy single track trail towards the ocean direction on South Lantau until the next trail junction where you will do a LEFT TURN on the South Lantau Country Trail (13.4km - 369m) passing a marker C1118 immediately after turning and continue just over 2km on some nice single track all the way until Tung Chung Au (Pak Kung Au) Water CP2 (16.1km - 338m). For runners arriving after 5 hours they will be re-directed down Tung Chung Rd to join the 15k course.

Be careful crossing the Pak Kung Au road (Tung Chung Road) as they built a fence that you can hop over or walk along way around, but still buses and taxis flying by and police prefer you to use the sidewalk and crossing at the summit. For safety reasons please help us by using the correct cross-walk.

After getting water/sport drink continue up the Lantau Trail on Sunset Peak (Tai Tung Shan) staying on the Lantau trail past the 800m elevation mark which will be the highest the Lantau trail will go here (17.3km - 824m) and down thru the cement mountain huts near the top of Sunset Peak and down the main trail to the Wong Lung Hang Country trail on your left side. You will TURN LEFT here at this big AFCD signboard showing the map which is approximately 18.3km - 719m) into the race. Please be careful when descending the Wong Lung Hang country trail as it is mostly covered in trees, which means green slimy rocks that are very slippery in numerous places. Your legs will be very tired by this time and probably a good place to get some salt, glucose and or food inside your body as you still have one of the biggest elevation drops in Hong Kong in front of you from over 700m to almost sea level being a huge drop and leg burner. BE CAREFUL as lots of stairs.

When you arrive at Wong Lung Hang road (20.6km - 86m) TURN LEFT on the road and note there will be a TIMING checkpoint only here just to record and make sure everyone is safely off the mountain. No water here as just under 3k mostly flat until the finish.
Follow Wong Lung Hang road for over 1km thru a barrier gate and to the main Tung Chung Road (lots of buses/taxis/cars) and TURN RIGHT for 50m and then TURN LEFT on the footbridge (in front of some shops) going back to the Tung Chung hospital that you were at earlier in course. The footbridge will connect with another footbridge in front of Tung Chung hospital (22.3km) and here TURN RIGHT on this footbridge and follow same route back along walking path past fire station (22.8km) and thru tunnel, TURN LEFT after first tunnel and follow walking path to the 2nd tunnel close to finish and TURN LEFT HERE (23.2km) (less then 400m remaining) and run along walking path for 100m and TURN RIGHT (23.3km) thru the buildings at first opening running into the Citygate shopping outdoor area with the water fountains.

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. Same at the start please don't make noise as Sunday morning and residents sleeping.

Where to purchase hydration systems & trail shoes before race?
Action X Store www.actionxstore.com
(see Action X Store specials given to Lantau 2 Peaks runners)

Hydration & Food on course – Race Day – (NOTE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC FOOD MIGHT NOT BE APPROVED MEANING YOU ARE REQUIRED TO BRING ALL YOUR OWN FOOD AND ELECTROLYTES FOR THIS EVENT.)

What YOU SHOULD BRING
How much water / energy drink to start with??? RECOMMEND SPORT DRINK AS SODIUM INSIDE TO REDUCE CRAMPING.

You must bring your own drinks to start with so recommend:
2 to 3 liters of sport/energy drink– If you plan on walking the course bring at least 4-5 gels and maybe 3 energy bars with some salt/electrolyte tablets that you can take every 45 minutes or so depending on how much you sweat. Real is food even better (sandwich, bun, potatoes almonds, dried fruit).


Hydrating before race on Friday & Saturday
Recommend to drink lots of water and energy drinks the day before the race. Don’t just drink water but get minerals / electrolytes in your body as well. We’re serious about this as with the hot Hong Kong weather and high humidity it is better to start hydrating TWO (2) DAYS BEFORE THE RACE.

Food on Friday & Saturday BEFORE RACE DAY
Recommend starting carbo-loading at least 48 hours before the race and not just waiting until the night before. AVOID MEAT THE NIGHT BEFORE as takes more than 24 hours to fully digest and will make you feel sluggish. Try to have a good breakfast (banana oatmeal, rice, etc) at least 2-3 hours before the start of the race in order for good digestion.

Where to buy food after the race
Many restaurants in Citygate by Tung Chung MTR.

Sunscreen, Clothing and Hat
Don’t forget to put the sunblock on before the race.

Lightweight quick dry material shirt (race shirt) that will dry fast when wet. Normal running shorts / tights are fine. Comes down to what you find comfortable in off road running. Recommend a hat and depending on length of time it will take you the safari hats that cover your neck even better.
