The Hong Kong section of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge hosted a half marathon on the morning of 15 November 2026, with Secretary for Justice Eric Lin, Secretary for Education Edsi Choy, Legislative Council member Kenneth Fok and his wife, former diver Guo Jingjing, among those taking part in the two-kilometre honour cup.
Lin said the weather was comfortable and the atmosphere on site was good. He expressed his delight at having the opportunity to run on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and voiced his hope that Hong Kong would organise more large-scale competitions to demonstrate its strength.
The ten-kilometre challenge group started at 6:15 am, with half-marathon challenge and open groups also held.
To facilitate the event, police imposed temporary traffic arrangements on the section of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Hong Kong link road between the Hong Kong port and the boundary line between Guangdong and Hong Kong. The restrictions remained in place until the race actually finished and the road was reopened to vehicles.
Police said they would adjust traffic arrangements according to traffic and pedestrian flow in the area at the time. They urged members of the public to plan their journeys in advance, exercise patience and follow instructions from officers on site.
