Joining the MR 25 group is to motivate me to keep going for faster speed and achieve Boston qualifying. To speak the truth, I am really not up to the mark in the group because they are really fast.
The title is in Mandarin as this was done in Taiwan, my home land. I have never been to this place before despite being in Taiwan many times. This time, we happen to return because of my Grandmother’s one year death anniversary, and there were some rites to be done.
The Kheknoi Ultra Trail takes place in Kheknoi Hmong village, Thailand Phitsanoulok. Actually the whole race takes you through the Phitsanoulok area and also to the Petchabun area. Not the usuals for tourists who visits Thailand for the shopping and food in Bangkok, Phuket and Chiangmai.
I balloted for New York marathon since 2020, 2022 when the results for 2023 ballot came out and I lost it, I was thinking maybe I should just do charity or buy a slot from the tour organisers. But just a few weeks after the ballot results were out, I received an e mail saying that if I purchase the guaranteed virtual slot for 2023 at a higher price, the physical slot for 2024 will be secured.
The pacing program was organised by the Running Department. This running group has been in Singapore for quite sometime, but I never joined them namely because the members are all pretty young.
Another freebie race, normal registration is $69 which is actually through donations to gather that amount, but if you are unable to raise that, you will need to fork out own funds to top up and register for the race.
Joining this race was by pure chance. I did not really want to spend more money on races in Singapore as they are really too expensive. To think I can get the same race overseas like Malaysia and Thailand with half and price and more perks too.
This is a series of races organised by the X trail blazer. Not sure when this was started, but I only started to join this year’s edition and I am not prepared to join the 100Km which will take place later in the year.
As Gede Pangrango race was postponed without a proper update, I started to search around for some Indonesia races to fill up the gap as the air ticket cannot wait. Chanced upon this race at the Asian Trail Master site, and it was one of their championship race. There was also a quiz going then on the Facebook page for free entry slot.
