SURVIVOR-X TRAIL RUNNING : Message from Race Director


Please bear in your mind this quote "less hiking, more running". Some might say that our race don't have the course that can compare to Gunung Datok Challenge, Mount Berembun Challenge or else.Yes, they are different, surely. They are climbathon and we are trail running. We seems to recognize that, no matter how steep or hard the course you endure. It's still just hiking not running. We have choose to run more. We're different here, not worse, but different. And different is exactly what we want our race to be. Different from other races in peninsular Malaysia; different from climbathon or mountain challenge or anything that has been done. If we were to start a race, we want it to fit a niche that has never been seen before. We see no point in recreating essentially the same event as everywhere else. For us, the reason to start a race is to do something new that progress the sport, whichtakes a new twist on what already exist.

SURVIVOR-X TRAIL RUNNING is different because it is a synthesis of what has been done before. Nothing like this ever been done and nothing will replicate it. SURVIVOR-X TRAIL RUNNING is the progression of trail running in Malaysia.

  1. My knees looked in extreme tiredness since my climb at Gunung Nuang on Xmas day where I ran up and down twice. The down hills took me approximately 30 minutes real fast downhill otherwise it will be rather dangerous as the ground were terribly wet for the few days of rain.

    Raced on 29 Dec 2013 at BJ Mini Marathon, and then I did Newton 25km Challenge on 30 December 2012 and finally 31 December 2012, I did a 5km race at Larian Tahun Baru!

    I have been resting since 6 January 2013. A total of 6 days now.

    So no workouts leading to Survivor X!! Can I do it?
