The third edition of the only 100 miles ultra trail race in Indonesia is opened for registration. It also features 102km, 70km, and 30km categories.
Find out if 46 hours is enough for you to get enough of Bromo's landscapes!

Bromo Tengger Semeru Ultra has opened the registration for this year's edition from 6 to 8 November in East Java. It is the last Indonesian race on the 2015 Asia Trail Master calendar, and arguably also the toughest. The longest distance option is 170km with a five digit elevation gain number to boot! For that you will be rewarded by some astonishing scenery.

Trail runners from 38 different countries from Asia, Europe, Africa, North America and Latin America have confirmed their entries to compete in 2015 Mount Rinjani Ultra across the two race categories.

heartfelt poem for the warrior buddy. anyone can translate to English?

Kawan,
Aku tak mungkin menggantikan kakimu dgn kakiku tuk melanjutkan langkahmu. ..
Teman,
Aku tak mungkin menggantikan Matamu dgn Mataku tuk gantikan kantukmu. .
Sobat,
Akupun tak mampu menggantikan degup jantungmu dgn jantungku tuk memacu Adrenalin mu...
Sahabat,
Akupun tak juga mampu gantikan cucuran keringat lelahmu dgn limpahan air ditubuhku...
Tapi,
Kami Hanya mampu mengirimkan DO'A Tulus tuk mu Wahai Pejuang Tambora dlm mengakhiri apa yg tlah kau mulai menjadi akhir Bahagia...
Semangat Alan..

Puisi dari Bang Chairil Anwar

Alan has reached 260km checkpoint! 60km to go Alan before you can go back to reading your favorite novels!

Into day #3 of
Here's Alan at 245km mark! only 75km to go.
Sitor is trailing behind him. Arief and Lily had also passed 200km, with Lily moved into overall third place.

Hendra is still moving at some distance behind. Aziz, however, had to make painful decision more painful than his body is. After hanging on tough all night and days, he pulled out shortly after 170km checkpoint. Recover well, Aziz, you did amazing job!

Photo: Budhi/Kompas

Alan passed 200km mark!
Aziz and Lily have cleared 170km, and Hendra is slowly recovering and moving after struggling with multiple vomits in daytime.

Let us know if anyone can check the fact, but from what we know Alan Maulana could be the only third Indonesian runner ever to have run 200km in single-stage event.
(after Hendra Wijaya and William BeanJay)

Tetap semangat!!

We hope participants of 42km and 24km trail race have started preparing for their weekend trail fun adventure!
Travel light, guys, bring only the necessary. Check your inbox, we have emailed a few more notes earlier this afternoon. See you in Tambora tomorrow and we welcome you to welcome the 200 miles heroes!

It's all heat hot sun for the first two days. Runners have been really challenged to deal with it. Second night is coming, and we heard it was raining somewhere near the 200km mark. Rain (hopefully not so much) will be very welcome!!

Alan (178k), Sitor (173k) and Arief (170k) are still leading, while Lily, Aziz and Hendra are very well determined to carry on.

Watch Abdul Aziz Dermawan finished first and kissed the ground in the Halimun Salak Trail Run last month.

Aziz is running , and has just checked in at 140km. Go Aziz!

Halimun Salak Trail Run 2015 Trail running race with 300 metres elevation gain in a fresh and breezy rain forest. The course starts at 1150 metres height and reach 1450 metres at its hig...

Fonesport founder Hendra Wijaya is pondering whether he likes the north pole or the equator better.. at km 119.
