GARMIN Ultra Fish N Sheep 2026

The sixth GARMIN Ultra Fish N Sheep trail-running festival takes place across Hong Kong on 17–19 October 2026. It combines steep point-to-point mountain ultras with shorter youth and family races. Garmin is the title sponsor, and the 75K is a qualifier for the Asia Trail Master Season XII Championship and Grandmaster Quest. The longer courses also carry organiser-listed ITRA and UTMB Index recognition. Entrants should expect sustained climbing, exposed hillsides and rough trails, not a flat city course.

The route crosses Tai To Yan, Ng Tung Chai, Tai Mo Shan, the MacLehose Trail, Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail, Grassy Hill, Needle Hill and Shing Mun Reservoir.
