Kedah Ultra 2027 - Bujang Valley

Kedah Ultra 2027 is the third edition of a long-distance running festival based at Muzium Arkeologi Lembah Bujang, Merbok, Kedah, with courses advertised on the hilly roads around the historic Bujang Valley and towards Gunung Jerai. Four distances are offered: 10 km, 30 km, 50 km and 100 km. This is a substantial endurance event, and participants considering the longer distances should plan for climbing, heat, humidity and extended time on their feet.

Important date verification

The event-specific Howei booking header, event calendar, registration process and an independent current calendar all show 25–27 June 2027, with a programme-opening time of 17:00 on Friday 25 June. However, the event description on the same registration page contains an inconsistent 25–26 January 2027 sentence, apparently left from an earlier draft. The entry is provisionally filed under 25–27 June 2027, the dates used by the booking system, but organiser confirmation is required before publication, making non-refundable travel plans or relying on race-wave dates. The 17:00 header is not proof of a 100K or other distance flag-off; consult the final race schedule for category-specific start times and cut-offs. The third day is recorded to reflect the advertised event date range, not as a confirmed final finish time.

Entry categories and support

The 2027 checkout provides selectable men's and women's Open and Veteran/Senior options for 10K, 30K, 50K and 100K. Its overview quotes an overall entry-price span of RM50–RM340, but a reliable current fee for each individual distance and gender/age category was not established; rather than assigning speculative prices, check the live Howei registration screen before choosing a category. The published overall registration closing date is 31 May 2027, or earlier if places sell out.

Advertised participant entitlements include bib, timing chip, digital certificate, event shirt, medal, insurance, refreshments and prize opportunities, with a 50K and 100K windbreaker pictured. Not every item is necessarily offered with every entry package, and finisher-shirt eligibility should be checked against the chosen category. The organisers mention top-five trophies and a lucky draw. There is not yet independently confirmed 2027 race-pack collection scheduling, course files, water-station details, mandatory equipment list or emergency evacuation guidance in the accessible text.

Organisation and runner planning

The event page credits Yayasan Nurinsan Negeri Kedah working with Aqeelstudio Event Management. The venue is at the archaeological museum in Merbok, a known landmark near the foothills of Gunung Jerai. The map pin identifies the museum, not a verified starting arch or entire route. Check updates with the organising team via the official registration platform and verify the June versus January discrepancy directly before payment.
