How many water stations are there?
We have 4 Check points which are shown on the route map. We will NOT provide cups. You must bring your own water container (recommended 1000ml size) person. Sunrise 40km does not have a checkpoint for the first 16kms.
​
Bag drop service?
You can one small bag (max 4kg) at the start line (it will be taken to the finish line and will not be covered). The maximum weight is 4kg (this is strictly enforced). Your bag should not include any valuables or delicate items. We do not accept any responsibility for your bags including damage or getting wet should you choose to use this service.
​
How safe is doing Moontrekker?
We will do our best to make this event as safe as possible, however, walking down steep paths in the dark has inherent risks. You should not take this lightly and make sure that you have good quality tested gear (especially torch/phone) and spares. Most importantly, you should adequately train and make sure that at least some of your training hikes are done at night. We strongly recommend that you have completed the whole course 1-2 times within your training especially Lantau Peak.
​
What happens if my teammate drops out before the race or even during the race?
You will receive an ‘unofficial time' and would not be eligible for the prize pool.
If your team/pair does complete the race, your official time will be that of the last person in your group to pass the finish line.
​
What happens if I get tired and want to leave the race early?
You must tell a race marshal or timing staff (at any check point) that you are dropping out of the race. Once the marshal/timing person have recorded your bib number, make your way to to finish line to collect your drop bag. We only provide transport at the finish line - from the finish line Sha to Tung Chung. There is a limited public night bus service (very limited). There is a taxi service (no Uber; we will provide the telephone number to participants.
​
How long will the route take me?
Three to four KM per hour is fast walking with little or no breaks... you should know how fast you walk from your training. Last year, our fastest participant finished in less then 4.5 hours and the last participant to cross the line was nearly 12 hours. In previous years some participants commented that they did not realise how far it was or that it involved steep mountain climbs - please be aware. This is your responsibility.
​
How much of my money goes to charity?
