The Half

Description: The Half Course Description The Half course starts in Pak Tam Chung on the east side of Hong Kong’s New Territories and winds its way around the coast of the Sai Kung peninsula along coastal paths, across beaches, through ancient villages, over hills and through valleys before returning to Pak Tam Chung. The 54km journey climbs over 2090m and offers amazing views of this beautiful corner of the planet. The first 10km follows the Maclehose Trail with views out to the islands in the South China sea on the right and across High Island Reservoir on the left. The route travels over dams built to form the reservoir leading to the first support point at East Dam (10km). Don’t forget to take in the views of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark as you refuel! From the support point to the first checkpoint requires a climb over Sai Wan Shan (314m) and crossing Sai Wan and Ham Tin beaches. Enjoy the waves crashing into the pristine white sand and ignore the temptation to join the surfers.
