Summary
After the start it is easy to reach either CP2 Hau Tong Kai (in Chinese 猴塘溪) (34km) or CP3 Pak Sha O Youth Hostel (in Chinese, 白沙澳青年旅舍) (43km) as well as CP5 Kei Ling Ha / Sai Sha Road / Shui Long Wo (57km) by public transport.
Please do not go to East Dam (Support point) as runners and cars share the same single
lane and will easily cause a complete standstill for both!
After CP5 none of the checkpoints are directly accessible by public transport, but it is
possible to reach CP8 Shing Mun (82km) by walking for about 20 minutes from the minibus bus stop.
Detailed instructions
From the start (Pak Tam Chung in Chinese 北潭涌) there is a green 16-seater minibus (#7) which goes to CP2 (Hau Tong Kai, in Chinese 猴塘溪) and CP3 (Pak Sha O Youth Hostel, in Chinese, 白沙澳青年旅舍). CP2 is on Hoi Ha Road on the left side and takes about 15 minutes to reach from the start. CP3 is less than 2km further along Hoi Ha Road, also on the left hand side as you head towards Hoi Ha. From the start, the #7 minibus departs every 30 minutes, takes about 20 minutes.
The first runners could arrive at CP2 as early as 10.30am and CP3 as early as 11.15am.
In Hoi Ha village (just over 1km further up Hoi Ha Road from CP3) is a small restaurant for fried rice which you can sit outside and the runners come right past you. There is also a mall beach. On your way to Hoi Ha village, you will also pass the Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park Visitor Centre.
At CP3 (Pak Sha O Youth Hostel) volunteers from Blind Sports Hong Kong will be cheering runners on.
Whether you choose to visit CP2 or CP3 or both, to travel to CP5 Kei Ling Ha / Shui Long Wo / Sai Sha Road (57km, where drop bags are available) requires taking the green minibus #7 from Hoi Ha Road to Sai Kung town. The journey is about 30 minutes. You can choose to get off the minibus a bit earlier at Mak Pin (麥邊) instead of all the way to Sai Kung and take the same buses (KMB #99 or KMB #299) to CP5.
At Sai Kung (which has restaurants and shops) take the double-decker bus (KMB #99 or KMB #299) and get off at stop “Shui Long Wo” on Sai Sha Road. The journey should be about 15 minutes, departs every 20 minutes.
The first runners could arrive at CP 5 as early as 12:25pm.
After CP5 you can either go to CP8 Shing Mun (城門水塘)(82km) which is slightly
complicated and involves a 20 minute walk, or to the finish line. Either way you will first need to take double decker bus KMB#299 (carrying on in the direction you came from Sai Kung) to Sha Tin (departs every 20 mins and takes less than half an hour).
From Sha Tin Central Bus Terminus you need to take the bus to Tsuen Wan (KMB #49X) (departs every 12 minutes). Jump off at Tsuen Wan Chung On Street.
From Tsuen Wan Chung On Street to CP8 Shing Mun (in Chinese 城門水塘) take green 16- seater minibus #82 to Shing Mun Reservoir. Jump off at the reservoir and walk with the reservoir on your left for about 20 minutes. Look out for monkeys and expect them to steal any food you’re eating! You will see the CP on the right in a BBQ area. The first runners will likely reach CP8 shortly after 3:25pm.
To reach the finish line retrace your steps and take minibus #82 back to Tsuen Wan.
From Tsuen Wan to the finish line take double-decker bus (KMB #51 from Tsuen Wan MTR station) and jump off at the country park stop. Then walk into Rotary Club Park (in Chinese 大帽 山扶輪公園) where the finish is located. The bus departs every 15 minutes between 6:20 and 15:20, every 30 minutes between 15:20 and 19:20 and every 60 minutes between 19:20 and 23:20.
Alternatively, look for the HK100 shuttle bus from Tsuen Wan MTR exit B3 or E (under the footbridge of Tsuen Wan Luk Yeung Sun Chuen) which should leave for the finish every 30 minutes or so between 7 pm on Saturday to 12 noon on Sunday, then every hour from 12 noon to 2 pm on Sunday.
