Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon

The Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon is an international skyrunning competition held for the first time in 1987. It runs every year on Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia, in October, within the Kinabalu Park, with the race part of the Skyrunner [World Series] until 2010.

Background and history

The Kinabalu Climbathon has been held since 1987 and is well-known amongst the international mountain running community, especially since its inclusion in the annual International Skyrunning Federation Skyrunner World Series race circuit in 2004. In its early years, the climbathon was only a fun race among the Sabah Parks staff before being expanded internationally. From 1995, the organisation was undertaken by the Sabah Tourism Board until it remained part of the Skyrunner World Series.
