A  Night Start
Are you ready to push yourself to the limit at MoonTrekker? Hong-Kong’s most exciting endurance competition ever? Now in its fourth year, the MoonTrekker race is set to challenge the hearts, minds and legs of Hong-Kong’s most intrepid adventurers. The *40km and the shorter *25km endurance hikes begin at 9:00pm/11:20pm in Mui Wo, on Lantau Island, and take participants though the island’s stunning scenic country trails. The last section of the route passes through the sleepy Po Lam Zen Monastery in Tai Tong Tsai and leads hikers up Hong Kong’s second highest peak—delivering racers to Hong Kong’s famous and best dawn panoramas. Will you make it before sunrise? 

Lantau Peak 
This mountain forms part of the backbone of Lantau Island, and for years have been the destination for lovers of the great outdoors, eager and determined to experience Hong Kong’s finest dawn view first-hand. The official time to catch the sunrise will be around 6.20am. Racers will have approximately 7 hours (for the Moonlit 25) or 9 hours (for the Sunrise 40) to reach the summit of Lantau Peak to enjoy the spectacular view.

Challenge Yourself
A great reason to get fit, a fantastic experience and helping a great cause! After registering for MoonTrekker, you are expected to harass/plead/entice or show-off to your friends and loved-ones to raise a minimum of HK$500 per participant which goes to MoonTrekker's nominated charity. We are delighted once again to be supporting Room to Read.

In the last three years, participants have raised over HK$2million which has already been used to fund a number of projects including primary schools and libraries around SE Asia and Sri Lanka. See Report 2009 and Report 2010.

Whether you want to kick-start a healthier lifestyle (good preparation and training are essential), explore the most beautiful parts of Hong Kong, help raise money for a great cause, or simply want the chance to catch dawn from 1000 metres, MoonTrekker is the best outdoor experience Hong Kong has to offer. For regular competitors on Hong Kong's endurance/hike calendar, MoonTrekker offers a refreshing alternative competition to get your feet into.

Schedule
Lasting through the night, MoonTrekker spares you from the soaring daytime heat typical for that time of the year. Participants have the choice of either the Moonlit 25 or the Sunrise 40 route through the night, perfect for veteran and novice hikers alike.
