Rationale of 10 Hour
There lacks distance test in the ultra running market. We only find less than 20% distance tests in the world and 5% in Hong Kong. Most existing distance tests (e.g. 24 Hour) take place in a flat sports ground. As ultra trail runners, we try to come up with an exercise/ race that minics the trail's condition but removes nuances of trails, e.g. terrain condition/ supply plan. The 10H Series is good for self-supported virtual "races" for one to collect data about one's cardio capacity. We also occasionally organize physical 10H races for ultra runners to gather and chat with each other. All the 10H races only designate two check points (CP0 and CP1). One can figure out their own way to go between the two points. Most 10H races have lap distance of 5K-10K, with a cumulative asent of 5%. CP0 is usually selected at a public transport hub with shops around, so one can refill water / food every lap. Find more background story and runner's testimonial here.
