00:00We meet again.

00:02The involvement of the private sector, especially the fishing boats from Japan A6,

00:07managed to attract the interest of the best fishermen in Asia

00:10to colour the race of The Most Beautiful Thing,

00:13Ultra Trail Marathon in Kundasang Sabah.

00:16In addition to promoting fishing activities,

00:18the fishermen also go through the process of transitioning from recreational fishing

00:22to elite fishing.

00:23Let's continue with the news.

00:30Kundasang Sabah

01:01The Denai race is not a new event in Malaysia.

01:04In fact, it started 15 years ago.

01:08Generally, the Denai race competes in 7 categories,

01:12starting with the 7km event,

01:14up to the 100km main race.

01:17The element of openness is the main factor

01:20involving runners from all over Asia,

01:22making this event an annual event.

01:26Absolutely.

01:27Actually, the TMVT was the first 100km trail run in Malaysia,

01:32so we kind of started that back in 2011,

01:35and that started with just a very small group of runners,

01:39and then we grew to 2,000 people,

01:42and it's become very popular around Asia.

01:45And also this time we hosted the Asia Trail Master Championship

01:50together with TMVT,

01:53not only in Malaysia but around Asia for sure.

01:56Now for 2024, we're up to 1,650 runners

02:02representing 32 different nationalities,

02:05so we're quite happy with that steady growth

02:07coming back from our races here.

02:10DENAI RACE

02:20As the Denai race is becoming more popular,

02:23there is already a movement for this race to be held in the main event.

02:28This is because this race has the main feature

02:31to be held in the C category,

02:33below the Category 3 race,

02:35which is the uphill race.

02:37I think that would be a great idea.

02:40Of course it's not one standard thing,

02:43trail runners, many courses,

02:45but it's the same for everyone,

02:47so as long as you set a given distance,

02:50and you know what that is,

02:52there's very strong competition now in Asia,

02:55as we saw during this race over the weekend,

02:58and that I think would be a fantastic addition,

03:01or addition to the C category for sure.

03:05Through the success of this edition of EMBT,

03:09when counting the highest number of participants

03:12during the last 12 editions,

03:14the real question is,

03:16what is the standard for the Denai race

03:19to be held at Sukan Sikuala Lumpur in 2027?

03:24This is from Pundasang Sabah, Nadi Arena.
