KKB ULTRA
We are proud to announce the 1st edition of KKB Ultra for 2023. This race course traverses through the beautiful and scenic landscape of remote Kuala Kubu Bharu. Sungai Selangor Dam was completed in 2002, flooding the valley of Gerachi Jaya and Pertak off Kuala Kubu Bharu, and resettling the native (Orang Asli) communites that lived here to a new village nearby. A picturesque dam that lies along the trunk route to Bukit Fraser from KKB town, it's a popular stopover for photographs and fishing activities. We would like to invite you to be part of this exciting road ultramarathon in Malaysia and thank you for your participation. KKB Ultra is proudly brought to you by Malaysia Ultra Running. |
