34th Green Power Hike Hong Kong 2027

The 34th Green Power Hike takes place on the Hong Kong Trail on Saturday 30 January 2027. Since 1994, this environmentally focused charity event has brought hikers and trail runners together to explore Hong Kong Island while supporting Green Power's environmental education work. Official timing mats, checkpoints, rankings and awards make this a competitive trail challenge as well as a fundraising hike. The organiser promotes Leave No Trace and responsible mountain recreation.

Race-day routes and individual start times (Hong Kong time)

• 50K: from outside The Peak Galleria at 07:30 to Big Wave Bay; 13-hour time limit.
• 25K: from Tai Tam Country Park Barbecue Area 2, near Parkview, at 10:30 to Big Wave Bay; 8-hour time limit.
• 10K: new course from outside The Peak Galleria at 09:15 to Aberdeen Country Park P.H.A.B. Barbecue Site; 4-hour time limit.

Finish-line guidance: These are point-to-point routes, not out-and-back races. The 50K and 25K finish at Big Wave Bay while the new 10K finishes separately at Aberdeen Country Park P.H.A.B. Barbecue Site. The finish-location map pin represents the approximate Big Wave Bay area for 25K/50K, not the exact arch or the 10K finish; arrange collection and transport for your own distance.\n\nTeam, Green Team, School Cup and Corporate Cup divisions have different wave times and eligibility conditions. All entrants must use the designated course, checkpoints and timing mat. Starts may be batched under government crowd-control requirements.

School Cup eligibility and start times

The organiser's 30 October 2026 School Cup announcement invites Hong Kong secondary-school teams to enter the 10K or 25K routes only, not the 50K. Official rules require three or four members per team. Participants must be full-time secondary-school students aged at least 12 on race day; each team may include at most one teacher. If any team member is aged 12–14, the team must include a student or teacher aged 18 or over. The published School Cup start times are 09:15 for 10K and 10:30 for 25K, Hong Kong time. A HK$200 per-team registration-fee early-bird discount applies when enrolling by 15 November 2026, with mandatory fundraising contributions still applicable. The organiser's official Important Dates page specifies an early-bird deadline of 15 November 2026 at 23:59 Hong Kong time (HKT, UTC+8). Source: official 2027 School Cup eligibility and schedules.

Entry, early-bird discounts and donations

Online entry opened on 8 October 2026 with a 3,000-person quota and closes on 31 December 2026 or sooner if full. The published individual-category prices include mandatory fundraising donations: 50K and 25K standard minimum HK$1,200 (HK$300 entry fee plus HK$900 donation), and 10K standard minimum HK$800 (HK$200 fee plus HK$600 donation).

Register by 15 November 2026 for the organiser's early-bird registration-fee reductions: Male, Female and Team entrants receive HK$100 off per person; Green Team and School Cup entrants receive HK$200 off per team. The organiser specifies a closing time of 23:59 HKT (UTC+8) on 15 November 2026 on its official Important Dates page. These discounts apply to the registration fee, not the mandatory minimum donation; no early-bird discount is advertised for Corporate Cup. The individual 10K/25K/50K race cards show their respective early-bird total and general minimum amounts. Other divisions have distinct eligibility, fee and fundraising arrangements.

The organiser's important-dates page confirms the 31 December 2026 entry deadline (earlier if the 3,000-person limit is filled), 7 January entry confirmation emails and a 17 January 2027, 18:00 HKT deadline for participant replacement applications.
