SAS International Tioman Eco-Challenge 2008

nature ~culture ~ adventure…

Pahang Darul Makmur, one of the biggest state in Peninsular Malaysia - known for its diversity of flora and fauna, its grueling terrain, its breathtaking waterfalls, its myriad of cultural practices and tantalizing culinary feasts offers immense potential for eco-tourism and adventure racing activities.

The ‘rakyat’ has always been close to the hearts of the Pahang Royal Family. The late Almarhum Sultan Sir Abu Bakar has traveled to remote areas in Pahang by sampan, trekking on foot or on elephant to meet and listen to the people. There were fiestas at every stop to welcome the Sultan and his entourage. The Kuala Lipis – Pekan International Rafting competition is a re-creation of the route taken by the late HRH.

This has set a tradition which till today is followed by HRH Sultan Ahmad Shah, the Sultan of Pahang. In addition, HRH Sultan Ahmad Shah is known to enjoy nature, adventure and the outdoor. His picture depicting him being winched from a moving navy ship to another when he was the King clearly reflects his true self. Thus, this adventure race is known as Sultan Ahmad Shah Tioman International Eco-Challenge 2008.

The disciplines include running, mountain-biking, canoeing and other exciting activities. Set within the tranquility of the island paradise participants will explore the mountain, jungle tracks, villages and the beautiful beaches of this island.

Sultan Ahmad Shah Tioman International Eco-Challenge 2008 is not merely a test for individual strength, but rather, requires team work throughout
the race.
