COURSE DESCRIPTION
The race will start and finish at Esplanade 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 journey to AS1 (Tiger Temple) situated at entrance to Sasanakkha Buddist monastery. Runners will cross the first river at Tiger Temple by running on cemented platforms so as not to get wet. From here runners will be challenged with a 270m/ 3.5KM climb towards the water catchment at Burmese Pool.
Runners will run into the forest reserves surrounding Burmese Pool via a water catchment area that is only accessible during the race weekend. Runners will then begin their homeward journey toward the finish line at Esplanade via the iconic World War British Cemetery, Maxwell Hill, Taiping Lake Garden, Taiping Prison, and Taiping New Club.
KEY INFO FOR MY13 RUNNERS
All the information you need to know before starting an extraordinary adventure.
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.
You also have the very important job of getting your runners to the finish line.
First job for support crew is to read the support crew section in the Runner Guide, available one month before the event. It contains important information you will need to know for the event.
To keep the event manageable as well as fair and safe for all athletes, and to make sure support crews do not get lost, there is some information that support crews need to know.
- Support crews are not allowed to assist runners in MY13
- Pacers are not allowed in MY13
- Support crews cannot run alongside their runners at any point on the course outside of the aid stations and may only support their runners on the above-mentioned AS.
