Race Courses
Outline of race courses:
The courses are outlined on map with elevation profiles provided below.
The race course is set within Sabah Tea Plantation and comprises two loops. The 15 and 30 k competitors will complete the first (yellow) loop, and the 30 k competitors will then continue on the second (cyan) loop to complete the full distance. Water will be provided at W1 and W3 which is passed once each by 15k runners and twice each by 30k runners. 30k runners may further fill up water at the halfway station W2 (at the start/finish area).
Elevation profiles are provided below. The cumulative elevation gain based on GPS records is in the order of:
Short (15k) course: 620 m
Long (30k) course: 1300 m
Cutoff times have been set to enable us to manage the course. These are very generous, but 30k participants do need to keep a steady pace to stay within the cutoff time and finish before dark. An intermediate cut-off time for the 30k course has been set at the halfway station (at the start/finish line) in addition to the final cutoff time. Cutoff times for the total race distances are tentatively set to:
Short (15k) course: 7 hours at Finish Line
Long (30k) course: 6 hours at halfway, 11 hours at Finish Line
