Trail running series across Asia, featuring the oldest annual championship competition for competitive athletes and the Grandmaster Quest: an individual challenge for persevering ultra runners. Asia Trail Master is an internationally acknowledged series of trail running races in Asia managed by Kuai Sports Promotions Ltd. It features an annual championship based on a transparent and easy-to-follow points system for competitive runners, but puts emphasis on runners of all levels via the Grandmaster Quest, a special achievement award for persistent long distance finishers. The core objective of the Asia Trail Master series comes in four parts:
a) To promote a healthy lifestyle and boost environmental consciousness among international citizens through the sport of trail running. b) To create a community platform and bring people from various distinct countries, cultures and backgrounds together. c) To provide trail running event organisers with a new and outsourced platform to boost international promotion and mediatisation of their events, as well as assist organisers with their business networking and event-technical needs. d) To provide Asian trail runners with a great performance goal, be it to become a Grandmaster or the year's Asia Trail Master champion, both of which may result in rewards and sponsorship endorsements
Marking its eighth season in 2023, the Asia Trail Master championship series will have, in total, 30 races in 14 Asian countries by the end of the year. Some of the major races include Ultra Trail Chiang Rai in Thailand, Borneo TMBT Ultra in Malaysia, Izu Trail Journey in Japan, Vietnam Mountain Marathon, Lantau 70 in Hong Kong, and many more.
