Chairman's Message
The Hong Kong, China Association of Athletics Affiliates (HKAAA) is proud to announce that the Bank of China (Hong Kong) Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (HK Section) Half Marathon 2026 will be held on 15 November 2026.
Last year, only three Half Marathons worldwide were recognised as "Platinum Label" race by World Athletics: the Bangsaen21, the Meishan Renshou Half Marathon, and the Yangzhou Half Marathon. This year, the Bank of China (Hong Kong) Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (HK Section) Half Marathon 2026 has officially been upgraded, becoming the fourth "Platinum Label" Half Marathon race globally. The upgrade of event status not only recognises our efforts but also demonstrates that Hong Kong is absolutely capable of hosting world's top class events.
Except the upgrade, 10km race will be introduced on the HK Section of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, with 2,000 quotas, target to attract more runners to experience the unique features of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. Moreover, the Half Marathon will remain 8,000 quotas as last year.
Lastly, on behalf of the HKAAA, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to our title sponsor, Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited for their invaluable support and contributions. I would also like to thank all government departments, sponsors, volunteers, and all participating runners, which has allowed the competition to be held smoothly. I hope that all runners will continue to break their personal bests, just like the race itself. See you all on November 15, 2026.
Bank of China (Hong Kong) Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HK Section) Half Marathon
The Bank of China (Hong Kong) Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (Hong Kong Section) Half Marathon 2026 will take place on the Hong Kong section of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge—the world's longest sea-crossing bridge-tunnel system. The event has been awarded the World Athletics Platinum Label Road Race status, highlighting its international prestige and professional standard. The Hong Kong, China Association of Athletics Affiliates (HKAAA) aspires to meet runners annually through this highly iconic major sporting event. This year's race will be held on 15 November 2026. The participant quota will be expanded to 10,000, and a new 10km race category will be introduced, allowing more runners to take part and experience the event.
HKAAA will invite elite runners from across the world to compete in Hong Kong alongside local athletes in pursuit of top performances. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge spans 55 kilometers, connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao, and serves as a key artery within the Greater Bay Area. It significantly reduces travel time between the three regions and enhances regional connectivity. Built across the Lingdingyang channel in the Pearl River Estuary, the bridge provides a spectacular backdrop for the race.
Participants can test their abilities while enjoying the breathtaking scenery along the route, taking in the grandeur of the bridge and its stunning surroundings—making it a truly unique running experience that blends sport with scenery.
