COURSE DESCRIPTION

The race will start at Esplanade Taiping and finish at Jalan Kota, Taiping. The course will take runners through the iconic Taiping Lake Garden where runners can expect to hear the call of the wilds. From the Taiping Lake Garden, runners will be taken deep into Burmese Pool enroute to AS1 (Tiger Temple). Upon exiting Speedy Hill at Sasanakkha Buddist Sanctuary, runners will catch the first aerial glimpse of Taiping town and the Straits of Melaka enroute to AS1.

Runners will cross the first river at Tiger Temple after Sasanakkha Buddist Sanctuary by running on cemented platforms so as not to get wet. From here, runners will be challenged with undulating uphills towards AS2 at Jalan Mat Kassim at Ayer Kuning. The course will take runners through palm estates, durian plantations besides malay reserves villages surrounding Ayer Kuning. Runners will be treated to a view of Taiping town and on a few occasions Mount Bubu (Gunung Bubu – 1657m asl).

KEY INFO FOR MY100 RUNNERS

All the information you need to know before starting an extraordinary adventure.

AID STATIONS

The MY100 has aid stations along its route, with differing levels of service, support crew access and supplies. The MY100 aid stations offer you the opportunity to refuel, rehydrate, see your support crew and prepare for the next leg of your journey!
Read more about aid stations

DROP BAGS

A drop bag service will be available which allows you to have your own personal supplies (gels, food, change of socks, shoes, shorts, lubricant, etc.) available at certain aid stations or at the finish. Please see the time charts above for information on which aid stations have drop bags.
Read the rules on drop bags

MANDATORY GEAR

Every runner at Malaysia Ultra-Trail will have to carry mandatory gear. The mandatory gear list contains what we believe is the absolute minimum to keep you safe during the event and in the region’s unpredictable weather systems. There will be random gear checks at selected aid stations.
Read Mandatory Gear rules

TRAINING ON COURSE

The MY100 course is on privately owned land and virgin jungle reserves which is not accessible to public throughout the year. No Training on Course is allowed.

SUPPORT CREW

We love support crews almost as much as our runners at Malaysia Ultra-Trail by UTMB – you are always the most colourful (and loudest!) and a huge part of the magical atmosphere of the whole weekend. However, to keep the event manageable as well as fair and safe for all athletes, we do not allow support crews to provide assistance.

But you have the very important job of getting your runners to the finish line, hence we welcome spectators to cheer on the runners at selected aid stations.

  • Spectators are only allowed at :
    a) AS2 Ayer Kuning
    b) AS4 Changkat Ibol
    c) AS8 Maxwell BaseCamp
  • Pacers are not allowed for the MY100
  • Spectators cannot run alongside their runners at any point on the course outside of the aid stations and may only cheer on their runners on the above-mentioned AS.

For more helpful information please visit the Transport & Parking page and Spectators page.

DROP BAGS

DROP BAGS

A drop bag service will be available which allows you to have your own personal supplies (gels, food, change of socks, shoes, shorts, lubricant, etc.) available at certain checkpoints or at the finish.

Your bag needs to be closable and soft and a reasonable size. In short, it needs to be properly concealed. Bags that are not properly sealed will be rejected.

Cool bags from the big supermarkets are perfect! In line with our commitment to sustainability please don’t use plastic bags or plastic boxes – these will not be accepted. One drop bag per runner is allowed for finishing and at midway point at AS5.

Aid station drop bags can be delivered to the drop bag tents at race start area on Saturday 16 November 2024 from 01:00am. Please don't be early, as if not placed directly into the correct aid station trucks they may go missing!

Collect by showing your race number. Any drop bags not collected by 02:00pm on the Sunday 17 November 2024 will be disposed of.

  • Please don’t use glass bottles/jars
  • Clearly mark your drop bag using permanent marker pen with: Surname, Race number, aid station location
  • At aid station and the finish line drop bags will be lined up numerical order. Any bags without or clearly written/visible with a name and race number, will place at the end of the number range.
  • Only the runner can collect their drop bag at the drop bag locations. Once each aid station drop bag is finished with it must be taken to the used drop bag pile. Please produce your bib no and sign in and sign out when depositing and when retrieving your drop bags.
  • There is a drop bag service for runners without a support crew. Runners may use a mixture of support crew at some aid stations and the drop bag service at other aid stations. Please don’t use the drop bag service for any aid stations where your support crew will be.
