The ultras are never a “chop chop” business, but that is also the beauty of it, taking time to plan, to prepare, to arrive, to soak in the atmosphere and to run the race. Whether completing it or not, the experience itself, is something that money cannot buy.
Held yearly around September in the capital of Malaysia Kuala Lumpur. This race is quite a sort after race for Malaysians and regional runners.

Melaka Marathon is held in the Heritage state of Malacca in Malaysia. In 2008, Malacca was listed as the UNESCO world heritage site for its long history and architectural buildings.
So last year I did this, and I reflected, I cannot always be a joke just do things for the sake of doing. Usually my bike leg is the greatest joke of all as I always rent the mountain bike from S lite company to do the race ( no road bikes for loan for me because of height issues).

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.
The walk for rice event is conceptualised by the SouthWest CDC and supported by NTUC to help raise rice, a staple for needy families in the South West CDC. For every 200m walked, one bowl of rice will be donated to the needy.
