Registration & Race Pack Collection

There are 3 processes in the full registration to take part in the event:

Registration and payment to "sign up" for the event - please refer to the registration page on this web site which will re-direct you to Racematix.
Race pack collection on the days immediately prior to the event. Please see below for details on schedule and procedures
Final registration at the start venue in the hour immediately before race start to register your participation in the event (involves scanning of your timing chip). Please refer to "Transport & Logistics" under "Race Information".

Race Pack Collection

RP collection venue for BUTM 2027 is still pending final confirmation and will be informed well in advance of the race.

To facilitate a smooth registration, please take note that:

All participants must register in person and bring identification for verification (if not able to make it in time, please see options below)
For any under-18 competitors, you must bring a form signed by a legal guardian (form available on Competitors Racebox).

For any out-of-state competitors arriving later and unable to make the registration within the stipulated time, we offer two options:

Get a representative to pick up the Race Pack on your behalf (within the stipulated times) and hand the race pack over to you (please note requirements for documentation listed below)
Against an admin fee get the Race Pack transferred to the start venue and pick it up prior to the start on the Saturday morning (this must be "booked" and paid for in advance via the Racematix registration platform - see below)

Collection by Representative. To have a representative pick up your Race Pack on your behalf, the following documentation is strictly required:

Photo copy of Participants NRIC or passport
Letter of Authorisation for Race Pack Collection (available from competitors racebox) - MUST be completed and signed by Participant and will have to be signed by Representative when collecting Race Pack
Photo identification of Representative

Forms can be downloaded from the "Competitors Racebox" on the pull-down menu under "Race Info" on the main menu - available here.

Race Pack collection at Start. If you are arriving late to Kota Kinabalu and cannot make the Race Pack collection time, you may choose to have it transferred to the start line at Kiulu and pick it up in the morning of the race prior to the start. If you are taking this option, please ensure you are early at the start and immediately go to pick up your Race Pack. This option has to be booked and paid for prior to the Race. When you register via Racematix, you have to choose between "standard pick up" and "Late pick up" - you would select the latter and then pay the fee of RM 30. Deadline for this is one week before the event.
