When do the events take place?
Friday 6 January 2023 to Thursday 2 February 2023
What is the Grand Slam?
The Grand Slam is where you complete all three distances - 103km, 56 km and 33 km - during the event period.
You are required to complete each distance in one go.
Finishers will receive the Grand Slam trophy.
Participants can choose to register for The Grand Slam (rather than each distance individually) for a single rack pack and at a reduced entry fee.
You may also complete the GRAND SLAM by doing 1 or 2 of the Flex distances and the rest as physical events. You will need to register for the 3 distances separately in this case.

I live overseas. How can I take part in HK100 Flex?
You can take part by completing the distance and elevation gain of the HK100 courses on any route you choose.
If you cannot integrate the elevation gain, you can convert the HK100 courses into “kilometres-effort”.
For any gain of 100m in elevation, one kilometre is added to the distance of the route. So, for example, 53 km will be added if the elevation gain is 5300 m.
HK100 course = 103 km + 5300 m = 156 kilometres-effort
The Half = 56 km + 2010 m = 76 kilometres-effort
The Third = 33 km + 1445 m = 48 kilometres-effort
