The start of the mountain bike section passes through a small community before crossing the main road – be alert. The first section is in an oil palm estate and there are several turns to note so follow the markings and keep on the trail. The trails are fast and flowing with several river crossings as well as a number of hills to test the legs. There are many junctions and splits so riders need to be mindful of the red and white trail markers and signs to avoid missing a turn (or a check point). The trail eventually will emerge on to the main road for a short section before turning onto a community road and then into a single-track section that includes, orchards, plantations, grasslands, some hills and then a tricky downhill. Once past a waterfall, the 25 km and 50 km tracks split. The 50 km will continue through a variety of fast flowing plantation roads, river crossings, small bridges. Watch for the trail markings and the check point. Eventually, the trail will emerge onto the main highway for a short section, before heading back into the village roads and reconnecting with the 25 km trail.
The last section will be a combination of plantation, orchards and paddy fields. A small bridge leads through Pueh community before heading back into some single track with and the final track to the main road and then through the village and on to the finish line.
