Hong Kong will welcome its first Star Wars Night Run on May 1 at The Whampoa and Hung Hom Promenade. The evening event is open to participants aged 4 and above. Discover all detail for this exclusive event, from the cosplay and 2 kilometre routes to carnival hours at The Whampoa, ticket prices, and how to register on Klook.
Run Routes, Start Times And Entry Fees
Runners can choose between a 1 kilometre cosplay category and a 2 kilometre run. The run will take place from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, with start times depending on group arrangements. The route is set along Hung Hom Promenade, offering a waterfront setting for the night-time event.
Ticket prices are set at $380 for the 2 kilometre individual run and $480 for the 1 kilometre cosplay category, and will be available on Klook starting from March 1.
A Pre-Run Carnival At The Whampoa
The programme also includes a themed carnival earlier in the day, adding extra activities for fans and families before the run begins, that will run from 3:00pm to 8:00pm at The Whampoa and Shung King Street.
Organisers say visitors can expect markets, mini-games, and prizes across the carnival area. Fans can also look out for themed photo booths around The Whampoa, designed to create a more immersive night run atmosphere. The 501st Hong Kong Garrison is also set to interact with participants during the event.

Registration is expected to open on March 1 on Klook. Runners who register during the early-bird window from 10:00am to 11:59pm on March 1 will receive a limited-edition Death Star Slate Coaster, while stocks last.
A limited-edition event T-shirt, created with local brand GROCERY, will also be available in a run-only add-on, with 100 pieces planned.
