HK: Ultramarathon de Sai Kung is confirmed for 22 October

Hong Kong runners can look forward to two ATM points races this month as Ultramarathon de Sai Kung has now officially received a permit to be held on the scheduled date of 22 October. This implies that all HK - based runners at least can score 2 race finishes, a first prerequisite to be eligible for participation in the ATM Championship Final in Davao, Philippines, on 17 December.

This coming Sunday, Ferei Dark 45 will be the first Asia Trail Master points race in Hong Kong in nearly 3,5 years following a period of civil unrest and covid. The 45km race will be previewed tomorrow and will be covered via our usual channels as well starting before midnight on Saturday night. XTE Events has now also secured the permit for its other event in the New Territories, UM de Sai Kung, albeit only for the 50k race. Anything longer than 50k is currently still not possible in Hong Kong.
