THE WORLD’S HIGHEST TOWERRUNNING RACE
The Sky Race made history on 30 August 2025 when thousands of participants conquered 2,845 steps to Level 118 of Merdeka 118, the second tallest building in the world and the pride of Malaysia.
The event achieved two Malaysia Book of Records titles:
1. Most Finishers in a Towerrunning Race
2. Highest Towerrunning Race
Now, The Sky Race returns on 30 August 2026. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, climbing step by step at your own pace, or celebrating Merdeka with the experience of a lifetime, the challenge awaits.
One step at a time. One floor at a time. One unforgettable view.
