Online registration now open Click Here for Entry
Race 1 at Tai Lam Chung was held in nice warm weather and the 128 runners that started ran an 8.1km course (with a quite nasty hill towards halfway) rather than the standard long course due to landslip and Typhoon damage. Ryan Whelan led the runners home in a very fast time of 33mins 10 secs. Over 1 minute in front of Giuseppe Mollica who ran a superb race in the M40-44 age Category. Amy Mumford who is in the W40-44 age category was the first lady home in a very fast 39mins 5 secs. Frank Pilkington in the M75 and John Fowler in the M80+ are our oldest runners and deserve special mention for their their excellent results and they set a great example to us all. Details of all the results are below. Many thanks to all the volunteers that helped mark the course yesterday and also those that came out today to support this AVOHK Club Event.
The races will be held in the following locations and with age categories up to 80+

AVOHK organise this historic event in conjunction with the HKLRRC in memory of long time AVOHK and Ladies Road Runners member Malcolm Phillips, who so sadly died in May 2006.

Malcolm is always in our thoughts.

A big thank you to all the runners that supported this years race. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and we were blessed with good weather. Thanks also to all the many volunteers that helped AVOHK put on this event, the Community Chest, Echo’s walking group, Hong Kong Adventure Corps, Taiquain, AVOHK Club Members, the Hong Kong Police (great job on traffic control) and of course our sponsors Gammon who are so special to the China Coast Marathon. AVOHK could not have put on this event without volunteer Race Directors Dave Smith and Catherine Leonard who spent many months planning and co-ordinating the 2018 Gammon Marathon and Half Marathon. Dave & Catherine an outstanding job. For all those asking, Catherine is making good progress after a traffic accident on 25th Jan and is now back at home recovering.

25th November 2017 – AVOHK 35th Aniversary Handicap Race
On Saturday 25th November AVOHK celebrated their 35th Anniversary having been formed in 1982. A 5km handicap run was held in the afternoon starting at Wan Chai Gap over an undulating course. Chief Handicapper Dave Smith used all his experience and knowledge to be as fair as possible and at the same time making it a fun event. All claims that they were not that fit fell on deaf ears. The field of 24 runners contained 1 ex Olympian, 2 former international swimmers and Albert the Dog. An interesting mix. Mr Lo was first away and all the runners were a bit concerned when they saw Mr Lo charging up the first hill. Their fears were realized when Mr Lo came home over 10 minutes in front with a well deserved win followed by the evergreen John Fowler in 2nd place and Ross Milburn in 3rd. Stuart Leckie making a welcome appearance on the roads and wearing a very historic AVOHK vest scored an impressive 4th place. Peter Brown an out of town AVOHK Member with his very colorful long stockings and making a flying visit to Hong Kong finished in a credible 5th place. Peter it was nice to see you again and thanks for dropping by. Albert the only dog taking part brought up the rear just behind owner Rachel. In accordance with IAAF rules Albert was removed from the results. Results can be found here: Click Here
