Silabur 100 remains on the Grandmaster Quest calendar

Runners on the Grandmaster Quest can look forward again to a trip to Sarawak in Malaysia on Borneo island. Silabur Ultra Trail, aka Silabur 100, aka SUTRA 100, stays on the calendar with a 2026 event schedule of 2/3 May. The distance category to focus on is still the 100km . It’s race with relatively little elevation gain that often gets underestimated. On the other hand, a cut-off time of 33 hours for a 100km with “just” 2500 hm should already ring an alarm bell.

It’s trail running pur sang, this event in Sarawak, about 100km south of Kuching near the border with Indonesia’s Kalimantan province. Jungle and proper caves are on the intinerary. While the weather generally is dry, a rainshower can always occur and obviously expect a significant level of heat - we are deep in Borneo, after all.

Via the event’s facebook page you can stay up-to-date with new developments regarding Silabur 100. Organised by Alpha Sports Events, director Josh is known to always go out-of-his-way to assist runners with their needs. By the way, there is shuttle transportation to the race start venue from Sarawak’s main city Kuching. So, you do not need to stay in Kampung Batu Bedang, but it’s certainly a recommendation to spend a night or two at the local villages, known for their hospitality and support for the event.
