Hulu Selangor Ultra Trail 2023

The Hulu Selangor Ultra Trail (HSUT) is an event that takes place every year in Kuala Kubu Bharu (KKB) and features multiple race categories, such as 55km Ultra Trail, 25km, 12km, and 5km. HSUT race course is designed to cater to a diverse range of runners with varying levels of experience and abilities. The event guarantees an exceptional experience for trail runners, as they can enjoy stunning trails, demanding ascents, and awe-inspiring vistas of the Hulu Selangor countryside. There will be four race distances offered during the event, including 5km and 12km for runners who prefer shorter to medium distances, and 25km and 55km for those who are either new to or experienced in trail running. The 55km race will commence at 3am on June 11th, whereas the other three categories will begin later on the same day. Taman Tasik Millennium, a recreational park located close to KKB town, will serve as both the starting and finishing points for the race. Participants will navigate through the lush jungle and rugged terrain of Hulu Selangor, facing a mix of steep climbs and technical descents. Along the way, they will pass through several checkpoints, where they can replenish their supplies if needed. HSUT is not just a race, it is a celebration of the spirit of trail running. The organizers have gone to great lengths to ensure that the event is eco-friendly, with a strict bring your own bottle policy in place. The event has a dedication to assisting local communities, and it allocates a portion of the revenue to several social and environmental initiatives. Examples of these initiatives include maintaining jungle trails and providing educational supplies to local aboriginal children. In addition to promoting physical fitness and endurance, HSUT also seeks to raise awareness of environmental conservation and sustainable tourism practices. The organizers encourage participants to respect the natural environment and to minimize their impact on the trails and surrounding ecosystem.
