Meishan Trail is a trail race winding through the forests, tea plantations, and sea of clouds of the Alishan mountain range, while also challenging participants with a rich and endurance-testing “stairway hell.”

What this race demands

This 21.4-kilometer trail run requires sustained climbing and high leg durability to manage 1,458 meters of elevation gain.

Climbing volume

Accumulating 1,458 meters of gain over a 21.4-kilometer distance demands continuous ascending strength and power application on steep inclines.

Muscular durability

Navigating the reported stairs and technical terrain requires strong eccentric leg strength to protect the quadriceps and maintain posture over the duration.

A target of 45 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour is recommended to sustain energy output for the duration of this effort.
