Event Description

The Four Feathers Ultra Trail Marathon (FFUTM) 2019 will be held on 29 February 2020 till 1 March 2020. The Four Feathers Ultra Trail Marathon is a new race with new challenges and a new experience at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu.The event takes runners from the northern native villages at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu and around the mountain. This new race is different from past race courses and will provide for a new challenge The route has been designed with a lower altitude gain and loss unlike other races with a different goal in mind; to give trail runners and runners who love the sport a mix of flat terrain and challenging climbs (and descents) with a greater emphasis on running rather than "crawling" up 5000-6000 meters of elevation gain over the course of a 50k-100k race course. This race course will have technical jungle sections in the night as well as a combination of steep terrain and technical trail sections, and the weather, usually hot in the first part of the day and with a good chance of tropical showers in the afternoon, often add to the challenge. There are some sections on asphalt roads which are unavoidable but these have been kept to the absolute minimum where possible. 50k will have at least 3 challenging hills to overcome whilst 90k runners will have 4 challenging hills to overcome to complete the race.
