Official event pageWhat this race demands
Oxfam Trailwalker demands sustained endurance over a 100-kilometer team hiking distance within a 48-hour limit on the MacLehose Trail in Hong Kong.
Ultra-Distance Endurance
Covering 100 kilometers on foot requires exceptional aerobic capacity and structural durability to maintain forward motion over many hours.
Team Coordination
Participants must form a team of four and complete the entire distance together, demanding synchronized pacing, shared fatigue management, and mutual support.
Given the extended duration of covering 100 kilometers on foot, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels.
