The other locations for the games are in Tuaran, Putatan and facilities around Kota Kinabalu.“This will be the biggest games in Malaysia. Even Malaysia Games (SUKMA) did not come up to our numbers. This year, SAGA like in the previous five games will see more participants compared to 2011 SAGA in Keningau, which had 5,322 participants. This year 5,756 participants will take part in the games,” she said.

Raising drug awareness through sports
Engaging in sporting activities could steer youths away from drugs, according to Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Yahya Hussin.
He said those who are active in sports are especially aware of the dangers of drug misuse. That being so, he praised the State National Anti-Drugs Association's (PEMADAM) approach in organising sports activities.
"In organising sports activities, PEMADAM raises awareness on the dangers of drugs to the family, the community and the country," he said.

Climbathon
Climbathon's New Route - Pluses and Minuses
The 26th Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon in Kundasang last Sunday was historic in a sense. Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak flagged off the race, the first Prime Minister to have done so.

The 26th Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon
“The World's Toughest Mountain Race” is set to take place in Kundasang on the 14th of October. This year the race will follow a new route. It will be flagged off from Kinabalu Park headquarters and, instead of using the trail from Kinabalu Park headquarters to the peak of Mount Kinabalu and back down again, runners will go half way up the Mountain to Layang-layang station which is 2760.3 m above sea level, and head down to Mesilau Nature Resort before running towards the finish line in Kundasang township.

Building Sabah's Sporting Prowess
The State Ministry of Youth and Sports looks at results when it gives allocations to sports associations, according to Suzannah Liaw, the Ministry's permanent secretary.

Can Sabah continue its winning streak?
25 years ago, at age 7, young Lim Keng Liat started swimming, not knowing what the future held for him. 9 years later, he was awarded the Olympic Solidarity Scholarship to study and train at Bolles High School in the United States. That opened the door for him to some proud achievements in a swimming career that has spanned almost two decades.
Rock climbing
The hard way up
Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia's tallest at 4,095 metres (13,435 feet), is arguably the easiest mountain to climb. Eighty-year-old grandmas and very young children have walked up to the granite peak. Yet it has attracted some of the world's best runners among the 600 to its toughest mountain race every year. Now it offers some of the most challenging routes to rock climbers.
