The weather in Hong Kong can be very localised. The organizer reserves the right to cancel the run at any time if weather conditions deteriorate. If a thunderstorm warning or typhoon signal is raised before the run start we will assess the conditions in relation to the specific course route and make a necessary decision based on keeping participants safe. This may include postponing the start until the weather warning has been lowered or the area is unaffected by the warning. If a thunderstorm warning is raised during the run, participants will be instructed by the course volunteers to head to the finish directly or via a shortened route. All participants will be alerted via email before the run if any of these outcomes look likely. Entry fees are non-refundable.

All 5 week training programme classes/meet-ups are outdoors and subject to weather. We have contingencies but if a class is cancelled it may not be rescheduled.

All pregnant participants should consult with their doctor before doing the event. If you are pregnant and have registered – but can’t join for health reasons, we will happily keep your entry for you for any race in the future. 

Unfortunately we can’t give refunds. There may be certain situations we can carry on your registration to the next event, but these cases need to be discussed and are up to the race director. Please send us an email if you have any questions
