Lantau 70 (HKG)

Introduction

Lantau 70 has become quite a classic trail race in Hong Kong over the years and always stayed true to its race distance of 70 km. That means it is a typical race that suits runners who prefer the medium distance over the ultra long distance. Everyone who has been to Lantau island (the island where Hong Kong airport is located on) knows that racing there is quite tough, however! The event centre is Mui Wo, which you can reach easily by ferry from Central, Tung Chung and Discovery Bay. This is a daytime race with start envisaged to be at 8:30 am so everyone can enjoy the magnificent vistas along the route. This is also a race where runners are required to be prepared in terms of mandatory gear and hydration.
