TransLantau™ by UTMB® - a leading race in Hong Kong and hugely popular amongst international runners with 43 different nationalities represented at the last edition – has been confirmed as the latest event in Asia to join the UTMB® World Series.
Taking place in November, the event will offer three races on Lantau Island including 25km, 50km and 100km distances, giving runners the chance to experience the wildest island of Hong Kong.
The demanding course is on trails for 80% of the race, covering two country parks. Participants get to connect with nature as they push their limits and immerse themselves in a landscape of undulating hills and long coastline, untouched by the urbanization of Hong Kong. The course takes runners on an authentic journey, past iconic locations including Tai O fishing village, Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery
