Covid-19 Precautions
Please note that it is a condition to not be Covid positive on race day to participate in the event. We do not require proof of being negative, but we strongly encourage participants to self test prior to the race for the safety of self, fellow participants and the race staff and volunteers.
If the eventuality should arise that it becomes necessary to postpone or cancel the event, those who are registered and those who register henceforth for the event, will be offered the following choices:
1. Maintaining the registration for the deferred event or an alternative event in 2023/2024.
2. A refund excluding a nominal admin fee.
Limit on Entries
Based on the Covid-19 SOPs currently in place for Sabah, we do not have Covid related limitations on entries. We hope that this will remain for the event, but if there should be new limits enforced, these will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Registration Procedures
Registration and payment is via the Racematix registration platform. You will be transferred to the Racematix registration page when you at the bottom of this page agree to the terms & conditions to proceed to registration. If you already have a profile with Racematix, you can log in to your existing profile to enter the race. If you do not have a profile on Racematix, you will need to first establish your profile with relevant details - it is a free and simple procedure that takes a few minutes. You can then select the race category and any add-ons (in this case the optional bus transfer) before proceeding to payment.
Important Note: Please use your name as stated in your passport / IC for your registration in Racematix. Your name and date of birth entered in Racematix will also be used for submission to the International Trail Running Association (ITRA) to register qualifying points for other races if you complete the course within the stipulated cutoff time. If you want your results to be properly captured under ITRA, please ensure your profile data is correct and accurate. Every year we have runners complaining that their results/points are not captured by ITRA or UTMB - and it is almost without fail due to inaccurate information in the Racematix profile set up by the runner. Sensitive information such as your passport / IC number will NOT be submitted and will be kept strictly confidential.
Payment Options
Payment options on Racematix include Local bank transfers, Paypal and credit card (via Paypal). You may also use other transfer options from overseas that deposit the full required amount into the Bank Account as stated below. Please note that there are admin fees associated with Paypal and Credit Card. If you pay with Paypal / Credit Card, your confirmation of race participation will be immediate upon payment. If you pay via bank transfer or other money transfer options that deposits the required fees in the Organizer's account, you will need to return to the Racematix registration page to upload a copy of the payment confirmation (bank slip, etc) once you have paid. This will then be verified, and your registration confirmed within a 7-day period.

As part of the registration process in Racematix for the race, you should enter the mobile number that you will be using during the race (a mobile phone is part of the compulsory equipment to be carried at all times during the races). As part of the emergency response, it is critical that the organisers have the correct number in the register. The following is noted:
- A local (Malaysian) simcard is preferred for ease of contacting the number.
- It must be possible to both receive and make calls from the provided number during the race.
- The number does not have to be entered as part of the initial registration, but must be provided before the race.
- The number should as far as possible be accurate well before the race but can be updated until the night before the race in case of changes, or in the case of foreign participants, if a number is only acquired upon arrival to Kota Kinabalu.
