Originally meant to take place in May, the Starlight ULTRA was postponed to 23-24 of August due to the Penang by-election on 25 May.

The planned start and finish for all categories will be at Straits Quay, Georgetown. Participants of the Ultimate Challenge (84km) will tackle the whole perimeter of the island of Penang in a clockwise direction.

Starting on 24 August, the Half (21km) and Fun Run (7km) runners will head towards the northeast, running along Tanjung Bungah & Batu Ferringhi before returning via the same way back to the finish line at the Esplanade.
