In addition to the full marathon, a 10 km run and a half marathon are also held. Around 70,000 runners take part each year across all events.High levels of humidity and a difficult course make finishing times for the Hong Kong Marathon comparatively slower than other large marathons.

History

Initial era

The race traces its history back to 1981 when the first race was held in Sek Kong comprising four circuits of the roads around Sek Kong Camp where it started and finished.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}} The race continued to be held here during the 80s (see records below).{{citation needed|date=December 2020}} It became the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Marathon, launched by the Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association. The route was between Sheung Shui and Shenzhen.Exhibition on a marathon in Victoria Park, February 2008, by the organizer of the Marathon{{bsn|date=December 2020}} The race endured organisational difficulties due to a lack of funding and was not held from 1989 to 1991. After two further editions, the race was again suspended from 1994 to 1996.Civai, Franco (11 March 2011). Hong Kong Marathon. Association of Road Racing Statisticians. Retrieved on 5 February 2012.

Standard Chartered era

Standard Chartered Bank stepped in as a title sponsor for the 1997 race and it garnered a field of 1,000 runners.WEB,weblink Standard Chartered Bank, The relaunch of the race saw increased participation from top-level East African runners – the men's race has been won by either a Kenyan or Ethiopian runner for all but two years from 1997 to 2012.The 1998 marathon established a new course, starting at Tsing Ma Bridge and ending at the newly finished Hong Kong International Airport on Chek Lap Kok. The total number of entrants increased to 6,000 participants. In 1999, the race was moved to urban areas for the first time, starting in Central, ending at Sham Shui Po Sports Ground, with 7,000 participants. The route was altered again in 2000, as it started from Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui, and ended at the Sham Shui Po Sports Ground. The half-marathon was added, alongside the already-existing full marathon and 10 km race. In 2001, the number of participants exceeded 10,000. The racecourse started from Nathan Road, then out to West Kowloon, onto West Kowloon Highway, followed by Cheung Tsing Tunnel, Tsing Ma Bridge, Ting Kau Bridge, then going all the way back into Western Harbour Crossing, ending at Golden Bauhinia Plaza in Wan Chai North.The race was incorporated as one of the four legs of the Standard Chartered-sponsored The Greatest Race on Earth in 2005.In 2006, the marathon was held on 12 February, with a prize fund of US$100,000. Almost 40,000 joined the Marathon. Two fainted during the race and one died on 14 February, resulting in the competition's first fatality. Reflecting this, first-aid services were introduced for the 2007 edition, but weather conditions seriously affected the runners. A record-breaking number of 6249 participants took part, 16.7% of whom experienced an injury. Hot weather sent 35 participants to hospital, including one young runner who died.NEWS,weblink 迫爆馬拉松 青年中暑危殆 6249人不適, 明報, 4 March 2007,

2008

In 2008, the marathon was held on 17 February, participated by some 42,000 runners, of which over 30,000 joined the 10 km event. (Originally 49,000 had signed up but 7,000 of them did not turn up.)The 10 km race took place at Island Eastern Corridor instead of Western Harbour Crossing like in previous years. The race track started from City Garden in North Point, and ran eastwards until Shau Kei Wan, where it made a U-turn, back along with westbound IEC and ended at Victoria Park, near the western terminus of the IEC. Due to the proximity of Island Eastern Corridor from residential blocks such as those at City Garden, and also the early starting time of the races (05:10 to 06:40), residents complained about noises as loud as 60dB. The organizer, however, stated that it hopes to use IEC again for the 2009 Marathon since it successfully alleviated the problem of large numbers of runners rushing into Western Harbour Crossing, which made breathing difficult within the tunnel. The new route was welcomed by the participants, saying that it was better than the old one.NEWS, 馬拉松噪音超標居民投訴, Ming Pao, 18 February 2008, WEB,weblink New Route for 2008 Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon, ASIATravelTips.com, NEWS, 四萬人跑馬拉松破紀錄, Sing Tao Daily, 18 February 2008, File:HKMarathonCheungTsingTunnel.jpg|thumb|Entering Cheung Tsing TunnelCheung Tsing TunnelThe full and half marathon's race tracks remained generally the same, starting from Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, then going out to West Kowloon using Austin Road, followed by West Kowloon Highway and Tsing Kwai Highway, where half-marathoners turn back. Full-marathoners continue through Cheung Tsing Tunnel, then do a return trip each on Tsing Ma Bridge and Ting Kau Bridge. Competitors then ran back all the way to West Kowloon, joining half-marathoners again at Kwai Chung, and into Western Harbour Crossing. The finishing point, however, was changed to Victoria Park instead of the Golden Bauhinia Plaza in Wan Chai North. This arrangement was welcomed by elite athletes, citing that it would improve their performance. Japanese runner Koichioro Fukuoka won the full marathon in 2:16:50, ending Kenya's four-year domination of the event.NEWS, 渣馬新賽道跑手畀滿分 跑入鬧市長直路助創佳績, Ming Pao, 28 February 2007,
