RACE CONCEPT

Penang Eco 100 celebrated its 5 th Anniversary in June 2019.

After 5 years, we’ve decided that it’s time to reverse the route, and take an opposite view of the journey for each of the 30km, 50km, 100km and 100 miles category. For those who have done Penang Eco 100, this should present refreshing experience.

First launched in Aug 2015, Penang ECO 100 is the 1st ever ultra trail event in West Malaysia. Held in Bukit Mertajam (Penang, Malaysia), the 30km, 50km, 100km and 100 miles categories start from the eco village of Sungai Lembu, taking runners through oil palm plantations, rubber plantations, pineapple plantations, several Malay kampungs Chinese new villages, and Indian temples, paddy fields, the challenging hills of Seraya, Mengkuang, and the by now iconic Tokun Hills. This race showcases the typical Malaysian geographical, social and cultural heritage where the runners will meet and see ordinary Malaysian people and wild lives, flora and fauna in the rural settings with a distinct small town feel. During the race, the runners will be sampling the local cuisines in the food and drinks provided at the aid stations along the course of the race.

Penang Eco 100 has been a part of the Asia Trail Master series, being accorded the status of Super Trail of Asia Trail Master for the last 4 years. From 2020, it’ll alternate it with its sister race, Ultimate Trails of Penang for a place in the Asia Trail Master series. All the race categories of 30km, 50km, 100km and 100 miles earns qualifying points for Ultra Trail Mont Blanc (UTMB) and Ultra Trail Mount Fuji (UTMF) as well for 2020. We are committed to ensure that Penang Eco 100 will continue to be part of Asia Trail Master, and to be a qualifying race for future editions of UTMB.
