Asia Trail Master (ATM) is an international trail running series that takes place across Asia. Founded in 2014, it hosts races in multiple countries, offering diverse and challenging terrains. The competition is open to both elite athletes and recreational runners, promoting the sport of trail running throughout the region.

ATM operates an annual championship where runners accumulate points based on their performance in individual races. The series uses a transparent points system, and the runner with the highest score at the end of the season is crowned the champion. There is also a “Grandmaster Quest,” where participants who complete six races of at least 70 km each within two years—one of which must be outside their home country—are honored in the Hall of Fame​.

The series aims to foster a sense of community and connection with nature while promoting endurance and perseverance among its participants. The races, spread across stunning landscapes, test the runners’ limits, making Asia Trail Master one of the premier trail running circuits in the world​.

The Trail des Gombak 2025 will be part of the 10th season of the Asia Trail Master (ATM) series, offering two significant race categories: 100 km and 50 km. This challenging trail event is held near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and promises a rugged experience for trail runners, featuring steep climbs, technical descents, and beautiful natural surroundings in the Gombak area.

The 100 km category is a flagship event, offering participants ATM Championship ranking points & Grandmaster Quest, 4 ITRA points, and UTMB performance index qualifications. Similarly, the 50 km race offers ATM Championship ranking points and provides 2 ITRA points. Both events feature significant elevation gain and will test participants’ endurance and trail-running skills. In addition to being a tough competition, the races form part of the HIJO Trail Series, where participants can accumulate points for overall rankings based on position, distance, time, and elevation.
