The ‘M’ in 4M stands for the four Kadazandusun sports comprising of managkus (running 6 km), mamangkar (bamboo rafting for 5 km), manampatau (swimming with bamboo for 1.3 lm) and mamarampanau (walking with bamboo stilts for 0.2 km). All four are indigenous, adventurous and thrilling events that will test your physical and mental skills.

Besides being a sport event, the K4MC is also a noble endeavor to protect and preserve nature, in particular the  Kiulu River.

    Hajat hendak memakan nenas
    Belum berbuah baru bertunas
    Hajat melihat belon udara panas
    Sebaliknya jadi hatiku yang panas
