Official event pageWhat this race demands
TransLantau100 demands sustained endurance and significant climbing capacity over a 104-kilometer mountain route. Athletes must navigate 4,500 meters of cumulative elevation across Lantau Island trails.
Endurance capacity
Covering 104 kilometers requires extensive aerobic conditioning and the structural durability to sustain forward motion for many hours.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 4,500 meters of elevation gain demands strong uphill efficiency and robust muscular endurance to handle continuous ascending and descending.
Given the extended duration of a 104-kilometer trail race, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels.
