Plot summary
Andre Blumberg founded the Hong Kong Four Trails Ultra Challenge in 2012, and it has become one of the hardest ultramarathons anywhere. Runners link the MacLehose, Wilson, Hong Kong and Lantau trails, 298 kilometers with 14,500 meters of climbing, and only those who finish inside 60 hours earn the title of finisher, while 72 hours earns survivor. For the tenth edition, held during the coronavirus pandemic, Blumberg invites back only runners who finished or survived a previous race. Eighteen sign up for the start on 12 February. Stone Tsang, Tom Robertshaw and Salomon Wettstein each aim to break the 50-hour barrier, and the field also includes Law Kai-pong, Will Hayward, Jacky Leung, Hyun Chan Chung, Sarah Pemberton and Nikki Han.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Four Trails (2023)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Director Robin Lee was one of 12 cameramen on Four Trails and hiked 70 km with 20 kg of equipment over three days without sleep to capture the runners' moments on the course.
- Four Trails had 200 hours of footage but no funding, so post-production took director Robin Lee and his brother Ben two years to finish.
- Robin Lee was first invited by Blumberg to shoot Breaking 50 as a sequel, but decided instead to cover other survivors' stories as well, which symbolise self-challenge.
