This is a yearly largest marathon in Sabah, Malaysia. Is worth to try, I love to hang out with friend from vacation marathon in here. It is beautiful place that surrounded by coastal and beaches. Their route is updated every year and guided by police road block and radio team. They also do a running festival in 3 days before the race in race pack collection. Well organized event. Recommended

Beautiful course. Well organized race. Ended up placing in top 10 but had to wait around for 1hr+ for cash prize. There was very limited transportation from the race site and I nearly missed my flight. This should be explained before the race. There is bus transportation but it is not convenient for those who cannot wait around hours after the race for the buses to leave.

Runs that start very early are difficult for me because I usually don't sleep early/well. It got somewhat hot towards the end of the run.

It was a very good and well organized marathon. They block all the road that involve in the marathon route to ensure the safety of every runner. They block the route just up until 9.30 am so that it wont cause jam in Kota Kinabalu after that. It was fun running.
