China Coast Marathon & Half Marathon

08:00 Sunday 12 January 2025, Pak Tam Chung, Sai Kung. Online Entry has now CLOSED

Thank you to all runners who have registered for the race. Final race instruction email will be sent early January.

This race is AVOHK ‘s flagship event and was the first AIMS certified marathon in Hong Kong. It was first held in 1981 and won by Ron Hill in a time of 2:34:35.   Ron described it as the toughest marathon he had run and although the course has changed over the years, it is still a tough challenge. It is not a race at which personal bests are set, but it offers very good racing against some of Hong Kong’s hardiest runners and through some of Hong Kong’s most stunning scenery. Being held in early Spring gives the best chance of good running weather. The current course record  is 2:38:44 set by Kevin Ball in 1989 which reflects the difficulty of the terrain.

The course is accurately measured and is AIMS certified.

China Coast is organized by runners for runners and AVOHK endeavor to ensure that all the participants feel welcome and looked after.

Please read all race information. AVOHK look forward to welcoming you to the races in 2025.
