The legendary Mount Santubong takes you across bridges, through dense rainforests, exciting steep climbs but most importantly scenic views. It stands 810m above sea level and is a great vantage point for stunning views of the South China Sea. You can challenge yourself and run all the way up to the summit. The climb is an adventurous one, with certain sections laced with rope ladders. It is a very popular place because of the views but, it’s also a great place to get some training in.

#3 Kelabit Highlands, Bario
Kelabit Highlands is the place to go to escape the world. It’s a true escapade from the modern world and is as remote as you can get. To access it, you take a small propeller plane to Bario. The entire highlands is laden with trails and dirt paths that brings you up the high foggy mountains. The tranquility and peace the Kelabit highlands offer make it perfect for running. You run on soft ground which lessens the impact on your legs and the elevation strengthens your legs. In short, a great running paradise!
