2026 Event Recap & Historical Race Guide
The TMBT Ultra-Trail Marathon 2026, also known as The Most Beautiful Thing, took place over 29–30 August 2026 in Sabah's Kota Belud and Mount Kinabalu foothills. Its routes traversed mountainous rural terrain and trails associated with communities beneath Kinabalu, giving runners a demanding contrast to conventional road marathons.
Trail experience and race logistics
Different TMBT distances use their own start and finish points, course cut-offs and equipment requirements. Trail running here can involve sustained climbing, slippery or uneven paths, remote sections and warm, wet tropical conditions. Historical runner information should therefore be checked against the exact 2026 category rather than using next year's course or another distance.
