Selalu aku tengok kat tri-magazine but now it's in Malaysia!!
Offer 2 type of categories - Pro and Non-pro. For Non-pro there 2 categories - Individual and Relay. And each category need to complete 1.5km swimming, 30km bike and 10km running.

The race will kick off with a 1.5km swim in the clear blue waters of the South China Sea with the temperature being typically warm around 32 degrees Celsius, and making wetsuits a bad option for participants.

The 30km bike course in the green jungle and double track heading away from the beach can best be described as a roller coaster ride and the descents are surely to be a challenging test for many mountain bikers. It would not be very technical but at the same time, it would not be a breeze either.

The 10km trail run, will take participants back to the beach and then heading off into the thick jungle, running past the local zoo before racing the hilly jungle trails and for prosperity reasons, a short climb in the woods heading back to the finishing chute to the finish line.

A total of RM100,000 cash prizes will be given out to the top 3 winners of their respective categories and all finishers will be awarded a Finishing Medal, Certificate of Achievement and a finisher’s t-shirt
