The Topo Lantau Trail 70 is a challenging 70km loop race taking in the entire Lantau Trail on Lantau Island, starting and finishing in Mui Wo.
What this race demands
The TOPO Lantau Trail 70 demands sustained endurance to complete a 70-kilometer loop covering the entire Lantau Trail on Lantau Island.
Ultra-Endurance Capacity
Covering 70 kilometers in a continuous loop requires advanced aerobic fitness and muscular endurance to sustain forward motion over many hours.
Pacing Discipline
The substantial distance of a full-island loop necessitates strict adherence to an energy-conservative pace from the start in Mui Wo to avoid late-race depletion.
A continuous ultra-distance effort of this length requires steady carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain glycogen stores and sustain output.
