China Coast Marathon & Half Marathon

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 January 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 races are a good alternative to the crowded, polluted and impersonal  HKAAA’s Standard Chartered Marathon, Half Marathon and 10K. China Coast is organized by runners for runners and AVOHK  endeavor to ensure that all the participants feel welcome and looked after.
