The 2026 Action Sprint Trail Series in Discovery Bay is scheduled for Sunday, April 26, 2026, on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. Established in 2003, this event is a long-standing fixture in the regional trail running scene, organized by Action Asia Events to celebrate over 22 years of outdoor adventure. The course is designed to take participants off the beaten path, featuring a diverse mix of technical adventure trails, ocean coastlines, beach running, and a significant mountain ascent over the iconic Lo Fu Tau (Tiger's Head) peak.

Discovery Bay is a unique residential development on the northeastern coast of Lantau Island, characterized by its vehicle-restricted streets and immediate proximity to rugged wilderness. The 12 km route is particularly demanding, as it climbs Lo Fu Tau, a ridge known for its dramatic rock formations and panoramic views of the South China Sea, Hong Kong International Airport, and the city skyline. In late April, Hong Kong experiences a transition into the humid summer season; participants should expect average daytime temperatures around 25°C (77°F) with high humidity. The exposed nature of the Tiger's Head ridge means runners will face significant sun exposure and potential tropical showers, making salt tablets and adequate hydration mandatory.
Logistical management includes a strict weather policy regarding typhoons and thunderstorms: the race is cancelled if a T8 signal is raised two hours before the start, while lightning or TS warnings will lead to a postponement or mid-race stoppage at the nearest checkpoint. Race packs include a souvenir quick-dry singlet and a bib that must be worn visibly on the front. Participants are reminded that picking up race packs on the morning of the event incurs a HK$150 service fee, unless they are overseas or mainland China residents. As part of the mandatory equipment, runners are required to carry cash or an Octopus card to facilitate self-transportation back to the South Plaza in the event of an emergency or weather-related race suspension.
