About the Race

WHY RUN IT?

The Most Beautiful Thing (TMBT) is a challenging ultramarathon run at the base of Mt. Kinabalu. The course runs through dense jungles and over steep mountain ridges, past remote villages and through endless cabbage patches. It’s a chance to see a side of Malaysian Borneo most travelers will never witness, while revealing a side of yourself you might never see without pushing yourself to the limit.

“A year from now you will wish you had started today.”

- Karen Lamb

Imagine a tropical island with orangutans, wild jungles, sea turtles, and amazing beaches. That’s Borneo. Home to three different countries – Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei – Borneo is the third largest island in the world, after Greenland and New Guinea. The Borneo National Park is an amazing place to visit, with rainforests, fascinating rock formations, and hot springs. You can even try climbing Mount Kinabalu, if your legs have an energy left after the race. This strenuous mountain is home to a variety of unique animals, making it feel more like a wildlife safari than a trek.
