Kalaw Ultra Trail Run Myanmar 2027

Kalaw Ultra Trail Run 2027 is a major mountain-running festival in Kalaw, Shan State, Myanmar, on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 February 2027. Organised by the Myanmar Ultra Trail Running Association (MUTRA), it offers five single-event distances and three two-day combination challenges. The 50K and 100K are confirmed Asia Trail Master qualifying races, a draw for competitive runners from across Asia.

CRITICAL TIMEZONE DISPLAY LIMITATION: ARC does not currently support the official event timezone Asia/Yangon (Myanmar Standard Time, UTC+6:30). The structured record uses UTC, storing the correct absolute start and end timestamps. All actual local race starts below are Myanmar time (MMT, 6 hours 30 minutes ahead of UTC). The site may otherwise display an apparently earlier calendar day. Do not read a UTC date as the local race date.

Current 2027 race programme

The officially linked international Bibly booking page advertises:

• 100K: Saturday 13 February, 03:00 MMT (Friday 12 February 20:30 UTC), 22-hour cut-off, approx. 3,879 metres ascent. Advertised international standard entry US$150.
• 50K: Saturday 04:00 MMT, 14-hour cut-off, approx. 2,143 metres ascent. US$125.
• 25K: Saturday 05:00 MMT, 7-hour cut-off, approx. 1,080 metres ascent. US$95.
• 15K: Sunday 14 February, 06:00 MMT, 6-hour cut-off, approx. 807 metres ascent. US$85.
• 5K community fun run: Sunday 07:00 MMT, 3-hour cut-off, approx. 140 metres ascent. The international portal displays this as US$0, but registration and participation conditions must still be checked.

The organiser also offers Kalaw Explorer 40, Kalaw Warrior 65 and Kalaw Titan 115 as two-day race challenges. Finishers must complete both stage races within the applicable cut-offs. The official international portal advertises their current standard prices as US$145, US$175 and US$200 respectively. ARC has no exact 40K, 65K or 115K distance filters; these are described here, not relabelled as shorter races. Confirm combined-stage race requirements and timing before choosing a challenge.

Registration and eligibility

Use the official Bibly international registration for USD entries. A separate Myanmar-resident booking page uses MMK and a different payment method; the USD prices in the race cards do not apply to that stream. As at 30 October 2026, the international platform displays its Standard phase until 31 December 2026; later tariffs, capacity and payment charges may change. Its advertised registration deadline is 17 January 2027, 03:59 Hong Kong time, equivalent to 17 January, 02:29 Myanmar time and 16 January 19:59 UTC. Ticket inventory can close earlier.

The booking pages show different age requirements by race. Underage participants should confirm parental permission and supervision instead of assuming the broad booking-age range establishes unrestricted eligibility. Entrants to the ultra and combination distances must check organiser requirements for fitness, course rules and compulsory gear. The event advertises race-bib timing, aid stations, a finisher medal and certificate under completion conditions, an event shirt, post-race food, bag drop, shuttle arrangements and personal accident cover subject to the provider's actual policy.

Race pack, venue and travel preparation

The registration portal identifies Kalaw Sports Stadium for bib collection on Friday 12 February 2027. Photo ID is required and a representative may be permitted to collect with registration confirmation. Precise collection hours, exact race assembly arch and checkpoint maps were not independently established. The location pin is Kalaw town centre only, not a verified starting gantry. Kalaw lies in Myanmar's hill country, where early starts and mountain elevation require planning. International entrants should check the organiser's latest advisories, race documentation, transport and travel arrangements.
