Penang Sky Race replaces Tioman on ATM calendar

After the cancellation of Tioman Ultra, we are happy to announce that the Penang Sky Race will take its place on the 2025 Asia Trail Master Championship calendar. Also organised by MMTF Consultant, the Penang Sky Race event programme offers a 50km category that will have ATM points on offer for the best 25 performers in the result. The event is scheduled for Saturday, 26 April with start at 3 am.

As the event name suggests, Penang Sky Race is also part of the global Skyrunner series and in particular the 30km race, which almost has the same elevation gain as the 50km (approx 2300 hm).

The 50km Sky Ultraks race category has start and finish at the Youth Park in Georgetown, main city in Penang. As such, this is a convenient event logistically with also an international airport to the south of Georgetown. The course will take runners on ondulating terrain with Penang Hill as a highlight. The highest point of the course is Western Hill at 833m above sea level. As we know from the longer UTOP races, Penang island is a trail running paradise as long as you are prepared . Hills can be very rugged and technical, and then there’s the heat and humidity. But once you finished, the beach is also not far away and Georgetown is a UNESCO World Heritage Site do definitely worth your time to wander about.

Registration is still open for the event and can be accessed via the official website linked below.
