Official event pageWhat this race demands
Lantau 2 Peaks requires sustaining technical mountain running over high elevation terrain across a 25 km distance. Athletes must manage prolonged muscular loading on steep ascents and descents.
Mountain climbing
Traversing the island's iconic peaks, including Lantau Peak and Sunset Peak, demands significant vertical climbing capacity and eccentric leg strength for steep descents.
Technical durability
The extreme mountain trail setting requires robust ankle stability and focus to navigate rugged terrain safely over the 25 km distance.
A 25 km extreme mountain trail run will likely exceed 2.5 hours for most participants, requiring a target carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain energy output.
