About TransLantau 15

TransLantau 15 is the trail race at Ultra-Trail TransLantau by UTMB 2027 (Hong Kong SAR China). The race starts on November 14, 2027.

Race strategy

Short race: go all out.

  • Hold your race pace up to 8.1km, but stay in control.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, then run your race pace.
  • Start · 0.0km–2.4km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Work · 2.4km–8.1km · Climb of 266m, high point 269m. Plus 1 more descent. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
  • Home · 8.1km–14.9km · Climb of 144m. Kick for the line: give it everything you've got. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.

Course

By gradient, 28% of the distance is uphill, 28% downhill and 44% flat. The longest climb runs 6.8km at an average 2.1% grade (144m of vertical). The longest descent runs 3.6km at an average 8.4% grade (306m of vertical). The steepest climb averages 17.5% over 0.6km. The steepest descent drops at 22.1% over 0.5km. Surface: 45% trail, 35% road, and 20% smooth.

Poles

Poles bring little benefit here: only about 1.4km of pole-friendly terrain.

Quad damage

There is too little runnable descent to damage the quads: plan the race around climbing and fuelling.
