TransLantau25

TransLantau25

Despite the name, the organiser’s course is 27 km. It runs on coastal trail in South Lantau Country Park, circles the Chi Ma Wan peninsula and climbs Lo Yan Shan, Old Man Mountain, before returning to Mui Wo. The two aid stations are Ham Tin and Chi Ma Wan. The page’s own description calls the race TransLantau20.

With 1,100 m over 27 km and six hours to do it, this is the step up from the 15 for runners who want a proper island loop in daylight, with the sea on one side for much of it. Start and finish are in the same place, which makes it easy for anyone coming along to wait in Mui Wo. The mandatory kit is short: a phone with the LiveTrail and HKSOS apps, a cup, a litre of water, a survival blanket and a whistle. The one intermediate cut-off in the time chart is at Chi Ma Wan at 14:45.

This page covers the 2026 edition. On a loop that disappears round a peninsula, the people in Mui Wo see the runner leave and then nothing until the finish. If the runner shares their own Livebib link, family and friends see the position on the course line, distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the race goes, with anything estimated marked as estimated, never as measured.
