The forthcoming Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Half Marathon will be held on January 5, 2025 on the Hong Kong section of the longest bridge-and-tunnel sea crossing in the world. The 21-kilometre-long race will be open to 8,000 runners, and will last three hours, taking the participants along the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Link Road, through the Scenic Hill Tunnel, and past Sha Lo Wan, before they turn around and head back to the start point.
Registrations will open in two rounds. Priority entry for runners who qualify with HKAAA-recognised race results from events like 2023 edition of this half marathon and this year’s Hong Kong Marathon are open from 2pm on July 16 to 6pm on July 20. Registrations for the public ballot are open from 2pm on July 25-6 pm on August 1. The entry fee is HK$550 for Hong Kong residents and US$85 for non-local participants.
Participants must be at least 16 years old as of 2025, and the top prize is US$15,000 (approximately HK$117,080). There are special prizes for Hong Kong Permanent Residents totalling HK$60,000 for men’s and women’s challenge race participants. The Challenge race will begin at 7.15am, and from 7.45am onwards for Non-Challenge runs. There will be cut-off times at specific checkpoints so that roads closed for the event can be reopened to traffic.
