ABOUT:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on our daily outdoor sports activities. Though most countries are returning to some kind of normalcy, it is likely to take several months before we can all take part in outdoor trail events like we used to. In the absence of being in an actual mountain racing, we have developed ATG Vert – “Race for Elevation, Champion the Mountain”. A virtual team race over a duration of 10 days for all participants across Asia.

OBJECTIVE:

Trail running often involves a lot of ascents and descents. Having the endurance and skill to run uphill and the right technique to tackle elevation is one of the main features of a strong trail runner. ATG (Asia Trail Girls) and Sportlicious Malaysia want to help you to not only improve your uphill running but also to challenge yourself and have fun with others in these difficult times.

With this said, we have come up with The Race for Elevation. It's the ultimate elevation gain challenge. Within ten days you and your team should attempt to gain as many vertical meters as possible. You can run, hike and climb outdoors or indoors using hills, stairs or treadmills. Three teams with the largest accumulated vertical gain win!
