Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon: The Ultimate City Event

Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon is one of the biggest annual Hong Kong city events, when the streets turn into a high-energy festival of running, cheering, and unforgettable photo moments. Runners come to challenge themselves and chase personal bests, while spectators—friends and families—pack the route to shout support and create an incredible race-day atmosphere.

What makes this Hong Kong marathon especially fun is the mix of serious athletes and runners in creative, funny outfits, plus celebrity runners like Chow Yun-fat joining in and adding even more buzz. For photographers, it’s a dream: sunrise light, iconic Hong Kong skyline backdrops, emotional finish-line scenes, and endless street portraits of determination and joy.
