This year's race is held in Malaysian Sabah at the Northern tip of Borneo. The race course offers a wide angle view to Borneo nature. It includes everything from powdery white beaches and swelling waves of the South China Sea to tropical rain forests and to the thin air of the summit of Mt Kinabalu, the highest mountain in South East Asia.
The race consists of five stages on five days, featuring seven different sports. Mountain biking, kayaking, river rafting, running and mountaineering form the majority of the course.
