10th DRCC International KOM Challenge 2026

The 10th DRCC International KOM Challenge 2026 returns on 13 December 2026 (Sunday) for its milestone anniversary edition, proudly organised by the Darul Ridzuan Cycling Club. Starting from Symphony Suites Hotel in Ipoh, Perak, and finishing at Blue Valley in Cameron Highlands, Pahang, this gruelling 60km King of Mountain challenge is one of Malaysia’s most prestigious and beloved cycling events.

DRCC updated the route in October, in partnership with CB Hills Cameron Highlands. The official course now covers 59.93km with 1,626m of climbing, finishing at Blue Valley at close to 1,500m above sea level. The first 20km out of Ipoh are almost flat, so nearly all of that climbing comes in the last 40km. The organiser publishes the course on Garmin Connect. The earlier route notes placed water stations at Kg. Pawong and Mountain Scenery Cameron Highlands; check the final race briefing for their positions on the new course.

Competitive riders can enter the Individual International Road Bike categories, which include Men Open A (18–23 years), Men Open B (24–34 years), Men Senior Veteran (55–70 years), Men Junior A (35–45 years), Men Junior B (46–54 years), Women Open (18–34 years), and Women Veteran (35–70 years). For those riding for the experience, the International DRCC KOM 10 Years Anniversary Ride is open to male and female participants on all bicycle types, road bikes, MTB, folding bikes, fat bikes, and gravel bikes.

Three registration packages are available: Package A includes a Race Cut Jersey and Windbreaker, Package B includes the 10th DRCC KOM T-Shirt and Windbreaker, and Package C includes the anniversary T-shirt. Early Bird pricing runs from 1 June to 30 August 2026. Participants collect their race packs on 12 December 2026 (Saturday) at the Symphony Suites Hotel ballroom, with flag-off at 7:30AM on race day.
