Chinese New Year Outstation Run at Gopeng

This year’s CNY “Sau Kong” Run will be held in Gopeng, a small town in Perak 150 km north of KL. Gopeng is a historical mining town, also famous for its limestone caves and white water rafting (that’s where we are running).
Whilst it is possible to drive there and back in one day (run site is about 2 hours from KL), we recommend an overnight stay in Kampar, a bigger town 15 km away. Kampar is renowned as a young university town and for its good food. On on dinner will be at Kampar.
If you want to bunk out in Kampar, the 2 recommended hotels (only because they are very near the on on restaurant, some nice pubs, hypermarket and McDonald’s/Starbucks) are:
- M Boutique Hotel Kampar
- Grand Kampar Hotel
