Bank of China (Hong Kong) HZMB (HK Section) Half Marathon
The Bank of China (Hong Kong) Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HK Section) Half Marathon 2025/2026 will utilize the Hong Kong section of the HZMB, the world's longest bridge-tunnel sea crossing, as its race course. The Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association (HKAAA) looks forward to meeting runners at this iconic large-scale sports event every year. This year's race will be held on November 15, 2026. HKAAA will invite elite runners from East Asian countries and regions to compete in Hong Kong alongside local athletes.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge spans 55 kilometers, connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao, serving as an important hub in the Greater Bay Area. Travel between Hong Kong and major Pearl River Delta cities takes only three hours, significantly reducing travel time. The bridge is built over the Lingdingyang waters of the Pearl River estuary, providing a magnificent backdrop.
Runners can test their abilities while enjoying the magnificent bridge and the stunning scenery along the route.
