The Mountain Range Trail Series – Tai Po is a trail running event set in the countryside of Hong Kong's New Territories featuring various distances across rugged mountain ridges, reservoirs, and country trails.
What this race demands
This 43.5-kilometer trail run over rugged mountain ridges in Tai Po requires sustained climbing endurance and technical descending capability across 2500 meters of elevation gain.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 2500 meters of elevation gain over a 43.5-kilometer distance requires significant uphill pacing discipline and muscular strength.
Technical descending
Traversing the rugged mountain ridges and country trails of the New Territories demands high levels of neuromuscular coordination and stability.
Muscular durability
The combination of extended climbing and descending over a multi-hour trail event places high eccentric stress on the lower limbs.
Given the extended duration, athletes should target an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels throughout the event.
