2019 Race Info

Iskandar Puteri in the southern state of Johor in Malaysia is the location for the 4th Edition of Challenge Iskandar Puteri , a half distance triathlon of The Challenge Family group.

The Race Village, Transition areas as well as the start of the Swim section are on the grounds of Puteri Harbour Marina, an international marina surrounded by hotels, service residences, F&B and entertainment outlets.

In 2018, the race received two awards from AsiaTRI.com, namely “Most Convenient Race in Asia – Long Course and Best Family Friendly Race in Asia – Long Course, validating the Organiser’s decision to host the race in Iskandar Puteri since its inaugural run in Malaysia.

The race starts from the marina where participants dive into the cool waters of Puteri Harbour Marina for the 1.9 Km swim. The 90 Km bike route passes through scenic and lush greenery and residential areas of Iskandar Puteri.

On the 21 Km Run course, triathletes will race along the tree-lined streets of Kota Iskandar, the state administrative centre with its collection of architecturally aesthetic structures.

The contrasting landscapes and well-maintained roads at Iskandar Puteri plus the sunny Malaysian weather make a perfect blend for another fantastic year at Challenge Iskandar Puteri.
