DUA Malaysia Duathlon 2027 - Sepang International Circuit

DUA Malaysia 2027 is a run-bike-run duathlon at Sepang International Circuit, Selangor, on Sunday 10 January 2027, with an official 06:30 Malaysia time (MYT, UTC+8) flag-off on the circuit's main straight. It is not a standalone 5K road race or a swim-bike-run triathlon. The official promotion uses 5K/47K/5K, while the measured course is 5.3 km run, 47.5 km bicycle ride, 5.3 km run. ARC's 5K filter is an approximate tag for each running leg, not a separately offered 5K race or the total duathlon distance.

Course and age divisions

The first 5.3 km circuit lap has 37 m of ascent and two gentle rises; the flat 47.5 km non-drafting bike course uses two highway laps with about 184 m of ascent, followed by a final 5.3 km running lap finishing on the Sepang main straight. All competitors must be 18 or older. Men's and women's age categories: Open (18+), Junior Veteran (40–49), Senior Veteran (50–59) and Masters (60+). Approved bicycles include road, tri/TT and mountain/gravel models on road tyres; folding, fixed-gear, single-speed, BMX, motor-assisted and other prohibited machines cannot be used. Helmets are compulsory, drafting is forbidden, and race numbers cannot be transferred.

Site coordinates approximate the circuit, not a surveyed starting arch.
