About This Race
The 98K serves as the flagship ultra distance, demanding exceptional endurance as runners navigate the full spectrum of Kenting's challenging tropical terrain over nearly 100 kilometers. This distance requires experienced ultra runners who can manage pacing and hydration across extended exposure to the peninsula's hot, humid conditions while tackling significant elevation through diverse ecosystems from coast to mountain. The extended time on course transforms the experience into a true test of mental fortitude, where runners must sustain performance through multiple climate zones and terrain changes that shorter distances only sample.
