This event has a rich history, showcasing the blend of sportsmanship, endurance, and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, all while adhering to Islamic values and principles.

HISTORY
The IIUM MY1200 cycling event had its inaugural run in 2020 when the IIUM recognized the need for an endurance cycling event that aligned with its ethos. The event was designed to test the limits of cyclists and promote physical fitness, while also emphasizing the importance of discipline and perseverance, in line with Islamic teachings.

It initially started as a local event but aiming to attract participants from across Malaysia and other countries. The course, covering a remarkable distance of 1200 kilometers, takes cyclists through the breathtaking landscapes of Malaysia, including serene villages, lush rainforests, and picturesque coastal areas.

The event has also seen the introduction of various categories, accommodating both professional cyclists and enthusiasts, ensuring that participants of all skill levels can take part. As the IIUM MY1200 event gained popularity, it started drawing attention from sponsors, media coverage, and even international recognition, making it one of the most significant cycling events in the Southeast Asian region.

The IIUM MY1200 cycling event remains a testament to the commitment of the IIUM to fostering a harmonious blend of physical activity, spirituality, and community engagement. This remarkable journey of endurance and camaraderie continues to inspire cyclists and enthusiasts alike, promoting not only a healthy lifestyle but also the values of unity, determination, and faith.
