## What is Trail Challenger?

Trail Challenger is a virtual hiking challenge that tracks your actual progress along the route to verify completion. This is not like other virtual challenges that only count your steps, so make sure you are able to access and hike the trail challenge of your choice.

Set Your Fitness Goal 

Trail Challenger is designed for any fitness or experience level, this is the hiking challenge for everyone. Completing any of Hong Kong’s long trails are epic achievements, regardless if it takes 1 day or 100 days. Simply pick the trail you want to conquer and enter the challenge. Our app will track your progress as you hike the trail and target 100% completion. Do the trail in bite sized day hikes, or in one epic day out….the choice is yours.

Redeem Your Medal

When you finally complete 100% of the hiking trail, we will send you a REAL medal in the post.

Time Trials

Ready to claim bragging rights among your hiker friends? Pick one of Hong Kong’s famous day hikes, enter the start zone and start the clock. Race to the end zone as quick as you can to stop the clock. You will then see where you come on the leaderboard along with all the other hikers.
