Since 2014, Titi Ultra has long been touted as the toughest road ultra marathon in Malaysia. The route runs through a natural landscape along the Malay village Hulu Langat Batu 14, where rainforest jungles greets you along the undulating winding roads. Runners will run up to 2 major hills and pass by a beautiful lake, which is the major source of drinking water supplied to the capital city, Kuala Lumpur. Runner will run pass a fews Orang Asli villages, where some small huts and orang asli are just tugged beside the route. In light of the success of the inaugural event in Feb 2014, the category of 200km and 250km to meet the appetite of those runners who crave for greater challenges.

This classic route happens to be the playground/training ground for many cyclists as well.  It seems to be a natural for us to extend the concept and route to a cycling event, making it also one of the toughest cycling event at that 100km distance too.
