Update: ATM Championship's Season 10 Final and start of new Season 11

After the unfortunate cancellation of Mu Cang Chai Ultra Trail and therefore also the Season 10 Asia Trail Master Championship Final race due to the devastation caused by typhoon Bualoi, we are working on alternative solutions as we speak. While a definite and formal conclusion will probably not be announced within the next week, please note the following nevertheless:

1) The idea is to still have a Season 10 Final race with January 2026 as the target month. This also to allow the qualified Finalist runners to properly prepare and plan for this new race goal. Discussions with a one particular event have already begun. Interested event organisers are also welcome to reach out to Asia Trail Master via kris@asiatrailmaster.com .

2) All the runners who were qualified for last weekend’s race, remain qualified for the envisaged new race in January.

3) Mu Cang Chai Ultra Trail has requested to host the 2026 Season 11 ATM Championship Final on 3 October 2026. ATM gladly accepts the bid as we remain convinced Mu Cang Chai will make for a fantastic championship race and overall running experience.

4) Season 11 kicks off as scheduled on 18 October with Luang Prabang Trail in Laos, followed by Ultra Fish N Sheep in Hong Kong and Lam Dong Trail in Dalat, Vietnam. Runners score ATM points already for the new Season 11 rankings that will decide the qualifiers for the aforementioned Mu Cang Chai Final on 3 October.

As previously mentioned, Asia Trail Master, Mu Cang Chai Ultra Trail and the local authorities in Mu Cang Chai and Yen Bai Province wish to thank everybody for their understanding and acceptance that there was no way the event could be held last weekend.
