The 2026 edition of Garmin Ultra Fish’n Sheep in Hong Kong has been scheduled for the weekend of 17/18 October. The event again features a 75km race as ATM Championship Qualifier (for Season XII) and the Grandmaster Quest. Last year’s new entry in our series proved to be a popular and applauded one, the third in Hong Kong besides The 9 Dragons and Lantau 70 earlier in the year.

Ultra Fish’n Sheep takes places in the New Territories of Hong Kong and is perceived as one of the tougher races. It’s an A to B race from Fanling to Lion’s YMCA Junk Bay Youth Camp with an estimated elevation gain of nearly 4000hm. Combine that with potential hot and humid weather and you know this is one to prepare for physically and mentally. The start is at 8am on Saturday morning and runners have 18 hours to complete the 75km course.

Accommodation-wise, the event has an arrangement with the well-known Regal Riverside Hotel in Sha Tin, which also featured as the event hotel at the latest 9 Dragons. The website linked below has details on your options. To get back from the finish line, there are bus and MTR connections.

Last year, Lodewijk Vriens proved outstanding and left others such as Jeff Campbell and Wai Hei Ng no chance in the battle for victory. The women’s 75km race was won by Wong Tze Kei ahead of Nicole Lau and Kimmy Leung.

Registration for the event opens this week on Thursday at 12 pm (noon).

Ultra Fish N Sheep will be the second qualifier of the new season 12, one week after opener Luang Prabang Trail in Laos.
