Ultra Trail Singapore 2023
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.
Did not thought about joining this race at all, then just got spurred by one of the swimming friends, Fidel Costa. He was running the Bukit timah summit all the time and I realised that he was joining this activity.
Pong Yaeng Trail 2018
Taking place in Chiang Mai, Mae Sai region. The race base is at the famous attraction, Queen Sirikit Botanic Gardens. This is about 30km from the Airport to reach. I wanted to do a 100KM myself and was thinking about the ThaiUltra Marathon, which I missed doing 2 years ago and ended up doing a walk through because of the Thai King passed away. This year unfortunately, they were also not able to organise the race due to some authority factors. In the end I was in a cross road between PYT and the trail in Nan. Thinking that I am just a newbie, I decided that PYT will be a safer choice because of its good reputation and also the elevation was not as much as Nan. Also since I had already walked through the 50km of Thai Ultra Marathon, I thought that the landscape should be the same.
