Selangor MTB Mountain Marathon 2026

The Selangor MTB Mountain Marathon is the Klang Valley’s most challenging mountain bike endurance event, set in the rugged hills of Hulu Langat at the southeastern edge of the metropolis. Starting near the iconic Broga Hill, the route plunges into a landscape of dense jungle, steep ridgelines, and river valleys that feel a world away from the urban sprawl just 40km to the northwest.

The 80km route is a genuine mountain marathon, with over 2,000m of cumulative climbing on a mix of jungle trails, logging roads, and Orang Asli paths. Technical highlights include a lung-busting 4km climb to a ridge above the Semenyih Dam, a fast descent on loose laterite through a rubber estate, and multiple river crossings in the Langat River basin. The 40km option covers the most scenic and rideable sections, avoiding the most extreme climbs.

A well-maintained hardtail or full-suspension trail bike is suitable, with at least 120mm front travel recommended for the 80km distance. The Hulu Langat area can be affected by afternoon thunderstorms, so an early 6am start and steady pacing are essential. Carry at least 3 litres of water and emergency nutrition, as the remote sections have long gaps between aid stations. The event is accessible from KL via the SILK Highway, with parking at the Broga Recreation Area.
