Organisers of Barclays Moontrekker, the 30 or 43 kilometre fundraising trek at night
through the Lantau Island mountains on Hong Kong, have again selected JustGiving
as its official fundraising partner.

Now in its sixth year, Barclays Moontrekker has 1,500 people taking part. All will
be encouraged to use JustGiving’s online platform. This year the event will use 
JustGiving’s API to [create a leaderboard](http://www.barclaysmoontrekker.com/en/fundraising-top/leaderboard.html)
to encourage competition amongst the participants.

This year the event takes place on 10 October.
