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.
Objectives
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 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 team with the
largest accumulated vertical gain wins!
Virtual Race Procedure & Regulations
- Team of 4 members, with a minimum of (2) Female members.
- Run at home up your stairs, run up a car park, run outdoors on an uphill road, run in the trails, up the mountain, run on a treadmill or at any place convenient to you.
- Each member can perform their activities at any time of the day/night.
- Team members will have 10 days to complete this challenge.
- Top 3 Teams to reach the largest elevation gain in 10 days win and will be awarded accordingly.
- In case of a tie (participants finishing the same level on the same day), the ranking will be based on the total hours spent to achieve the elevation gain. >> this really won’t happen but we can keep this as it still can be the same rule but with moving time (not elapsed time)
- Each member is required to clock a minimum accumulated elevation gain of 2500 meters over the 10 days period.
- Team members are not required to run together, and may choose to run at your own time and convenience.
