Penang Hill Heritage Forest Challenge 2024

The highly anticipated annual Penang Hill Heritage Forest Challenge (PHHFC) returns for its 9th edition on Sunday, 18 August 2024.

The Penang Hill Heritage Forest Challenge, which debuted in 2014, is designed to showcase Penang as a premier eco-tourism destination while fostering awareness and appreciation for environmental and heritage conservation within the Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve. This event serves as a testament to sustainable practices and responsible tourism initiatives.

Starting from Penang Youth Park, the 13km route takes the participants onto a run into the Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve, where they will:

  1. go up the Moon Gate Trail,
  2. stop by Station 5 and Station 84,
  3. take the jeep track up further onto Viaduct Road East, Viaduct Road West, and Moniot West,
  4. then ends the run at the Dataran, Penang Hill at atop the hill.

For the 2024 edition, a shorter route of 7km is introduced to allow casual and fun runners to share the similar terrain and sights around the Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve.

Location: Padang Serbaguna, Youth Park, 10450 George Town, Pulau Pinang
