The 7th Edition DRCC International KOM CHALLENGE 2023 is one of those few events that allows cyclist to ride up one of the most scenic cycling routes in Malaysia in a safe and controlled environment. Enjoy the spectacular landscape and fresh air leading up to the Orang Asli Village along way to the Jln.Simpang Pulai - Lojing.

This event isn’t about bike cycling. It serves as a venue for cyclist from Malaysia and abroad to come together to do what they love best-just riding their bikes. Whether you ride hard or whether you ride easy, it doesn’t matter. Ultimately, it’s about the camaraderie that all cyclist share in completing a gruelling hors categories climb together. This collective suffering brings us together and binds us as a whole.

No shoddy road repairs, no traffic lights and junctions. Just smooth tarmac all the way up, punctuated by great scenery and fantastic weather- all the ingredients you need for a perfect ride to remember.

Like any other major cycling event, the 7th Edition DRCC International KOM Challenge 2023 also helps in spurring the local economy as thousands of cyclists and their families and friends descend on Ipoh and Cameron Highlands for the event. For many who participate, the race serves as a gateway to the treasure trove of tourist attraction in the state of Perak Darul Ridzuan and Pahang Darul Makmur.
