One of Hong Kong’s classic events will take place on Saturday, 29 March in 2025. Lantau 70 by The Trail Hub takes runners across the island and back to Mui Wo. It’s a race with a significant history and one that all the competitive elites - especially the local ones - like to add to their record at least once. Jeff Campbell and John Ray Onifa were the last two male winners, Katryn Hamlin and Aurore Dacier the fastest females since the end of the corona crisis.

The 2025 course will be slightly amended but start and finish remain the same. It’s a daytime race with flag-off at 8:30 am, which means you can enjoy the great Lantau scenery during your run. Most elevation gain comes in the first half of the race, and the 13km long first section to Ngong Ping is arguably the toughest. It can get warm and treacherously humid already in Hong Kong at the end of March, so make sure you keep your hydration in check. Plenty have been surprised by that already in this race, even past ATM Champions Rashila Tamang and Alessandro Sherpa discovered that to their detriment.

The classic 70km solo race is of course the one that offers ATM Championship points and a Grandmaster point. Less ambitious runners can also opt for the relay race, for which you need a team of four.

While Mui Wo has accommodation options as well, it is perfectly possible to stay in the bigger city centres of Hong Kong and take the ferry to Mui Wo on Saturday early morning in time for the start of the race. If you stay in Tung Chung on Lantau island already, taxis can also get you to Mui Wo without hassle.

Registration is open already, and if you decide quickly you can score some great limited edition T8 goodies as well.
