Coordinates: N3 7.480 E101 51.405
Directions:
Take your favorite route to Hulu Langat as follows:
If you are coming via Cheras and Phoenix Plaza:
- Pass Phoenix Plaza and find yourself on the Lebuhraya Cheras-Kajang (E7).
- Straight after the first toll plaza, turn left at exit #702 (Hulu Langat), but stay in the right lane on the slip-road.
- Drive into the village and turn left at the traffic light near the police station, towards Pangsun on Jalan Hulu Langat (B52).
- Almost 9km after the toll, near the mosque in Hulu Langat village, turn right at the lights, onto Jalan Sungai Tekali (B116), towards Semenyih/B19.
[ If coming from Ampang on the other Jalan Hulu Langat (B62), go "straight across" the same lights. ]
Zero your odometer at that junction.
Go over the 6 slumbering constables at about 1.8km.
At 4.3km, turn left at the blue and gold mosque into Kampung Sungai Tekali. More slumbering constables. (Look for PHHH Sign).
Follow this road for 0.8 km, and turn left just after bridge at Km 5.1 onto Jln Kg Sg Limbat - should be another PHHH sign here
Follow this road for 1.5 km to the end and look for Hash Car gold Kia Sportage WMR 4214.
Parking is tight, so park close together. Four wheel drives can park up the dirt roads, and normal cars might want to park on the bitumen approaching the end of the road leaving enough room for people to drive by. Please leave the marked space clear for the beer truck.
On On:
Kedai Makanan Shirley Restaurant in Ulu Langat - turn back to Ulu Langat on B116 and Shirley's restaurant is on right at bend before bridge about 4.5 km for where you turned onto the B116
A few points to note:
- We will be running through some orchards - please do not pick the fruit or interfere with the trees
- Please be aware there are some steep drops in the area. Watch where you are running and be careful not to fall
- if we have the time and energy, my co-hare and I will set two runs - there will be the "Early Retirement Run" which will be equivalent to a normal full run, and "The Hard Slog" which is a good training run for the Hash Challenge. You will be mad to follow the The Hard Slog, but that probably will not stop some people.

Directions:
Come out of KL on Jalan Loke Yew, which later turns into Jalan Cheras as it cuts over MRR2 and heads towards the Phoenix Plaza. Go past Phoenix Plaza and through the two tolls (RM1.00 and RM0.90), quite close to each other, and out past Tesco (on right) and Giant (on left, behind Petronas and Shell stations) and then up the hill passing the Kajang rifle range and on towards the Semenyih junction.
Continue straight on the LEKAS highway towards Mantin and Seremban. Take exit 2104 signposted to Mantin and Lenggeng. (This exit is a little after a big water tank on the left of the highway which feeds a large housing/flats estate which springs out of no-where.) Go through the toll (RM4.00) and you will come to a T-junction. Zero your odometer at the T-junction and turn LEFT towards Panjam and Mantin.
Drive past the Chinese cemetery on the right, under the “Selamat Datang” arch, past some shop-houses sunk down on the left and then three blocks of shop-houses on the right. At 1.10 km, turn RIGHT at the hash sign and the small sign to Taman Bukit Mantin, at the end of the third block of shop-houses, after having gone past the Mantin Nursery & Landscape garden shop on the left.
Go straight up the road (mind out for the many un-marked speed bumps) and at 1.75 km, just after a small red Chinese temple on the grass on the right, you go STRAIGHT onto the gravel road, just as the tarmac road turns left.
Go past two large gates, one on the right and the other on the left, and up the gravel track until at 2.25 km you take a LEFT into a big FIELD. Parking is luxurious but there is no shade, but plenty of space for those who wish to hold their own “Court”. Beer truck can park under the tree on the only level ground !
[For those who wish to avoid the LEKAS RM4.00 toll, you could come off on the turn into Semenyih and take the old Mantin road. You can squeeze in some shopping at that new Tesco. Just make sure you stop and turn left into Taman Bukit Mantin before you leave the outskirts of Mantin, else you’ll find yourself up the hill into Seremban. There will be a hash sign left for those facing this direction, also.]
The RUN
The main run is not hard and is not overly long but is a work-out run, this being Mantin hill country, but finishing with a nice canter home. For this reason, there will be a short run also. The short run will be around 5 km and will not have many hills, but will be too short for serious runners. There are mozzies around.
