DMT 70 Redo ( 2025)
Got dazzled this time to join this race despite I am very reluctant to go back, since I was already a survivor once. To speak the truth, I know that it is very hard for me to complete this at 22hrs. Best is really 24 plus, however the cut off time is stringent and not to be messed with.
Singapore Marathon 2024 ( SCMS 2024)
1st December 2024, the Singapore marathon is always the much anticipated race for the nation as it marks the year end. Somehow, now the Sundown Marathon is no longer in action, maybe the sign up rate is low and also the transport after race can be a problem.
Ultra Trail Malaysia by UTMB (50KM)
Joining this race with Joey again. Actually, she went to this race in 2023 and came in top ten, which is quite a feat as this race is famous for the muddy and super slippery terrain and also leeches. Before its UTMB name, it was known as Malaysia Mountain Trail Festival. It was really a big mud festival because every year when I see the FB posts from people who participated, it was always very muddy, people sliding and getting injured. That is the reason why everywhere I am not tempted to go for this race, as I am not very good with trail and not sure if I can grapple with the terrain.
Istanbul Marathon 2024 (46th Edition)
Specifically put the 46th edition because I am 46 this year , it was such a coincidence. Sometimes, when I look back at my running adventures, I had been quite lucky in a little sense here and there. I guess one of the more important thing to be is to be able to complete the race safely and soundly.
Was lucky again this time that although I cannot go for an Oceanman, I managed to find another marathon in the same region. Its probably the only intercontinental race that cuts Asia to Europe.
Venice Marathon 2024
In 2023, when I lost the London marathon ballot for the 6th time ( 6 years!). I got so fed up and it happened to be around the Black Friday sales period, so I chanced upon the Venice Marathon Black Friday sales.
Run for Inclusion 2024
Writing back wards for all the events that happened lately. Well I still have not posted the Swim for Hope, Wizzair Venice Marathon and the Istanbul Marathon.
Planned this with Siew Ling earlier on this year when she was looking for guides to bring her to this eventful run. Usually, I just let the committee assign me the tasks they want me to do. But this time since I have been walking around with Siewling every other month, I thought maybe we should do it.

Macritchie 25 Runners Ultramarathon 2024
This year I did the qualifying on 23 Aug 2024. To speak the truth, I am not sure whether I can still qualify with just five rounds, but my speed was a little bit faster than others, so I felt that there are still some chances. The qualifying is for top 6 participants with the most rounds followed by the best timing. The six from each category will then be invited for the final show down on 27 Dec at MacRitchie.
Sembawang West Biathlon 2024
Joining this race for 3 years in a row, I prefer biathlon to a triathlon, because I really do not like to stress out cycling. I always feel cycling is a chillax activity and should be done in a relaxed manner where you can ride and eat. […]
Desaru Half Marathon
