The 25th Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon

Sets the Stage for Return to Normalcy

The first international “M” Mark Event after the lifting of Covid restrictions,

enables international and local athletes to run further together

HONG KONG, 19 January 2023 – The much-anticipated 25th Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon will be held on Sunday, 12 February 2023. The 37,000 enrolment quota has been filled and the registration process is now completed. The race represents the first ‘M’ Mark event to be staged in Hong Kong following the recent easing of Covid restrictions by the Government. Alongside the participation of local runners, international elite athletes are also invited to join the 25th edition of the race, representing a welcome return to normalcy with the community.

In view of the latest lifting of Covid restrictions in Hong Kong, the Organiser has removed some of the anti-pandemic measures for runners, including no polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests 48 hours prior to the race or rapid antigen tests (RAT) for Covid-19 24 hours before the event. However, the mask-wearing requirement adopted at the last Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon remains. Runners must wear a mask upon arriving at the starting line and immediately after completing the race.
