Summit Your Limits!
Every mountain has its story...
In the State of Kedah, Mount Jerai is more than just a peak — it's a symbol of spirit, strength, and courage.
This year, the Jerai Challenge returns. The 2025 edition arrives with a new format that's more open, more inclusive for all levels, yet still true to its adventurous soul.
It's not about who’s the fastest — it’s about who's most willing to go the extra mile.
