Race Across Malaysia (RAM) is one of the longest ultra-endurance bicycle race in Malaysia. It is officially sanctioned by Race Across America (RAAM), which has been challenging ultra-cyclists from around the globe to push their physical and mental limits to the farthest reaches since 1982. Unlike most multi-day bicycle races such as the Tour de France, RAM has no stages, i.e., there is no specified distance to travel each day. There are no designated rest periods for food and sleep. The clock runs continuously from start to finish and the final overall finish time includes rest periods. Each racer will be provided with a GPS tracker, which must be carried throughout the entire race. The race's progress will be monitored through live tracking, which can be viewed in real-time on the website. Additionally, racers are required to use a bike computer capable of providing a .FIT file after the race. Failure to provide this file will result in disqualification. Drafting is strictly prohibited. The race winner is the rider who can best combine fast riding with short and infrequent stops.
