Healthy Hike & Run Tai Lam Hong Kong 2027 is organised by Action Asia Events on Sunday 14 March 2027 at Tai Tong Shan Road BBQ area, Tai Lam Country Park. Runners and hikers choose three forest-trail routes, with scenic views of Tai Lam Chung Reservoir and the Thousand Islands Lake, while supporting the Leave No Trace approach.

Race cards show the currently applicable early-bird amounts; the table above preserves every later published phase. Registration is first come first served, generally non-refundable. Admin changes cost HK$150 where permitted, at least two weeks before race day.
Participants should carry a minimum 500ml refillable hydration container, front-facing bib and suitable footwear. Organiser aid stations include water, electrolytes, fruit, snacks and medical support. A souvenir shirt and finisher medal are supplied. Optional race buses run from Admiralty, Prince Edward and Sha Tin at additional cost. Limited parking is available near Tai Tong Shan Road.
Date discrepancy on official website: the 2027 event headline and price table correctly say 14 March 2027, but an embedded itinerary subsection still reads 'Sunday Nov 8', apparently carried over from an older event. Do not treat November as the race date. Detailed collection instructions and any updated final itinerary will arrive from the organiser.
