Knowing that it was a relay format boosted her confidence. However, she faced difficulties during training, experiencing cramps and struggling with her legs. She said, \u201cWhen you\u2019re alone, it\u2019s easy to think about giving up, like when you cramp up. But with teammates, you don\u2019t want to let them down. That sense of responsibility helps you push through, knowing your teammates are supporting you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although Chiu Fung has experience in trail running, the 100-kilometer race once felt like an unattainable goal. The new relay format lowered the barrier, allowing for strategy discussions and planning with teammates to maximize everyone\u2019s potential. He remarked, \u201cIn the past, my performance was solely my own. In a team format, the responsibility is greater, and the mental aspect is completely different. You can\u2019t be afraid or focus on how tired you are. Just think that if you can run one second faster, you\u2019re bringing the team closer to victory.

He believed that with less experience, he had the greatest potential for improvement and a fresh perspective. He said, \u201cHaving experienced teammates feels different, like studying together for an exam where each person focuses on a part. This time, I\u2019ve definitely taken a step further.\u201d This relay race not only bridged the gap for artists participating in the 100-kilometer event but also provided a great opportunity to compete alongside elite athletes. Chiu Fung shared, \u201cI used to hesitate to approach elite athletes because I was self-conscious and felt my skills were lacking. Just watching them from a distance was satisfying. Now, I feel empowered to train with them and gain their expert advice and feedback. It\u2019s been a truly enjoyable experience.\u201d Team leader Harmony stated, \u201cEveryone ran faster than I expected, and the response was great. Initially, I worried about how tough it would be for everyone, but it turns out their abilities and skills were impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n This year, The North Face 100 Ultra Trail Challenge @thenorthfacehk celebrates its tenth anniversary by introducing a new 100-kilometer relay race. This new format lowers the barrier to entry for the 100-kilometer event, allowing participants of all experience levels to team up and tackle the long-distance challenge together.
