Green Power Hike is one of the longest-standing charity hiking and trail running events in Hong Kong, featuring 50km, 25km, and 10km routes across the Hong Kong Trail.
What this race demands
This 50 km hike along the Hong Kong Trail requires prolonged endurance over a substantial ultra-distance route.
Extended Distance
Covering 50 km demands sustained cardiovascular output and structural durability to manage hours of continuous locomotion.
Muscular Endurance
A full-day hiking effort requires strong local muscular endurance in the lower limbs to handle repetitive loading over the entire distance.
Given the extended duration of a 50 km hike, athletes should consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the event.
