Borneo Miler open for registration

Long ultra distance lovers will have a number of opportunities this ATM season to wet their appetites. Two new 100 miles points races are on the programme in 2023 with Deep Japan Ultra on 24/25 June and the inaugural Borneo 100 Miler in Malaysia three weeks earlier on 4/5 June. Both events are now open for registration.

The Borneo 100 Miler was first introduced in 2020 as part of the long-running BUTM event. It was an extension of the 100 km course to reach the total distance of 100 miles with a total elevation gain of close to 8000 hm. The 2023 edition will be a "stand-alone" event on an entirely new race course. The new race course has been designed to be mostly runnable over variable terrain ranging from gravel and dirt roads through forests, along paddy fields and wetlands and over open grasslands. There are also trail segments through forest and up over hills with spectacular views to both Mt. Kinabalu and the ocean. There will be aid stations every 10-20 km mostly set in quaint native villages.

Needless to say, this is a race you need to be physically and mentally prepared for. While in Deep Japan Ultra temperatures can be low and you might even encounter snow, the conditions in Sabah tend to be hot and humid for most of the race.

To register, go to the website of The Borneo Miler. We also add again the button that leads to Deep Japan Ultra in Niigata.
