Barclays MoonTrekker is a unique overnight trail event that challenges participants to reach the summit of Lantau Peak before sunrise and finish in Pui O.
What this race demands
Barclays MoonTrekker demands sustained overnight endurance over a 40 km trail format that includes a summit climb of Lantau Peak.
Overnight Endurance
Because the event takes place overnight, athletes must manage circadian rhythms, sleep deprivation, and dark-hours navigation across a 40 km distance.
Climbing Capacity
Reaching the summit of Lantau Peak requires sustained uphill hiking capability and muscular resilience to handle significant vertical gain.
Distance Durability
Covering 40 km on foot demands structural durability and efficient pacing to maintain forward motion over many hours.
A 40 km overnight hike will take several hours, requiring a steady carbohydrate intake of 30 to 60 grams per hour to sustain energy levels through the night.
