The Magnificent Merapoh Trail (TMMT) was founded as a trail running event to save Merapoh Caves. The event is in its a 5th year now and we still maintain and uphold our main objective to preserve the national heritage and save Merapoh Caves. To date, we have discovered more than 150 caves in Merapoh and we believe there could be more than 200 caves that have not been discovered yet. These national heritage are under threats of destruction from the planned big-scale cement production project and logging activities in Merapoh. As the event grows, we have also seen spin-offs in the development of the local business and local economy to Merapoh through eco-tourism.  
This year, TMMT will involve 35km, 70km and 100km categories. Participants will run through the beautiful trail of Merapoh that includes running inside and through some of the iconic caves and wading through refreshing rivers. This race is a fast course with less technical sections and caters for beginner in trail running. Cut-off time 20 hours for 100km, 15 hours for 70km and a generous 10 hours for 35km category.
