The 5th edition Victoria 162 will take place during the weekend of March 7-9, 2025. Staying true to the vision of staying off well-beaten major trails, covering the entire territory of Hong Kong, while showcasing historic remnants and offering sumptuous refreshments along the course, the Victoria 162 series continues to offer V162 - the only 100-mile trail race in Hong Kong this season, as well as the 3-day Race, a unique 3D2N stage race with camping provided. Shorter courses of N80, L57, H50 and H25 would continue to be on the menu.

As a result of the redevelopment of Cha Kwo Ling Village, where our Day 2 Campsite used to be, there will be a relocation of Day 2 campsite, which will also serve as End Point for the N80. from Yau Tong to the Lions - YMCA Junk Bay Youth Camp at Mau Wu Tsai, next to Haven of Hope Hospital. The new campsite offers more indoor space and showering facilities, with bus and minibus routes to Po Lam and Hang Hau. The V162 course near the harbour remains unchanged, descending from O King Road towards Yau Tong Road Playground, where participants can then take the MTR to cross the harbor and continue their journey.

The 2025 race schedule will be identical to previous editions. The Lantau races will again depart at the waterfront promenade across from Tat Tung Road Garden, about a 5-minute walk from Tung Chung MTR Station. Friday (3/7) we will see the L57 and 3-Day Race starting at 08:00 in Tung Chung. V162, will embark on its 100-mile journey on Saturday midnight (3/8) at 00:00. Overseas participants for these 3 races can choose to add an overnight stay at the L5 Tung Chung Campsite’s 8-person rooms.

Moving on to the New Territories, N80 and the Day 2 of the 3-Day Race will start on Saturday (3/8) at 07:00 from Lai King, traversing Needle Hill, Lung Mun Trail, Tai Lam, Tai Mo Shan, Grassy Hill, Shing Mun River, Ngong Ping, and Tung Yeung Shan, ultimately reaching Tseung Kwan O.
