Elevation Map & Graph for CS SEMENYIH Series.

OFFICIAL CUT-OFF TIME:
50km - 8:30pm @ 14 hours
25km - 1:30pm @ 7 hours

This is the “final & confirmed” elevation map and graph for the upcoming CS Semenyih series on 5th Nov 2016. Due to the recent development in Semenyih, it is unsafe to venture too far up into the trails. However, we have still manage to confirm a route that will take you through mainly secondary forest and serene trails (90%), with only 10% of tarmac roads along the route.

Cut-off time has been maintained, even though the elevation gain has dropped. As a race director, it is my aim to encourage all participants to give their best. It has always been my hope to see first timers complete their very first ultra trail marathon within the cut off time given. Hard work pays off, and we want to ensure that each and everyone of you come back as a finisher!

Let this race be the perfect Ultra Trail Marathon for 1st timers, and also the perfect Personal Best achievement race for seasoned ultra runners.

Join us and be part of this amazing experience.
Registration will official close on 10th Oct 2016.

COMPRESSPORT 100 Penang Series

20th Aug 2016. What a day!

Being a Race Director for the recent Compressport 100 Ultra Trail Marathon Penang Series, which covers distances of 25KM and 50km indeed opened my eyes to new dimensions.

There are so many things to cater for. It all starts with the route. Finding the best possible route that highlights the beauty of Penang, at the same time guaranteeing each participant the challenge that they paid for when signing up was indeed a challenging task for me. We have spent a lot of time fine tuning and I must say, that the final and official route was definitely “to die for”. A trail that is gruesomely-beautiful, and definitely not for the weak.

Mother Nature painted endless mesmerizing pictures during race morning, (well not forgetting the storm that she threw at us too!). Every corner taken, gave the participants different challenges, different outlook, and definitely different experiences.

I trust this is one of the anchor reason for our high participation rate of International runners. Having said this, I will like to thank our Compressport International distributors for sending in their respective Compressport runners from their country and region (Thailand, China and Indonesia). Truly appreciate your efforts and support.

Nothing comes easy and only the determined will pull through till the end.

No race is a perfect race. Very well noted on the logistics distribution of the food and beverages. I will work harder to ensure that all my future ultra trail marathon, especially our next event in Semenyih on 5th Nov, serves all runners with sufficient F&B.

Distribution of Finisher Medals and Finisher T-Shirts will also be accounted for more carefully. I do apologize to those who did not receive either the medal or tee. I will ensure this meaningful item(s) is delivered to your doorstep soon.

Year 2017... Well, I have big and small plans for it. Big in the sense that I will add in more complexity to the terrain. Small in the sense of still keeping it at a race distance of 25KM and 50KM. I will try my best to factor in as much trails as possible along the route, but with the recent development, it is not easy to get the distances that I hope to get for trails. Perhaps next year I should rename this race and call it “Compressport 100 Ultra Hybrid Marathon”. LOL...

Anyway, last but not least, I will like to take this opportunity to thank:

(1)My Crew Members: each and everyone of you played an important role. From those stationed at the start/finish line, to my sweepers, to those out there in the woods for hours and hours, and to all those providing their services at the check-points and water stations. All of you are AMAZING. Thank you for your commitment, for your support, and most of all for your time!

(2)Route Director: Special thanks to Ray Lee for finding us such a mind boggling route that tested our alertness at all times, and at the same time mesmerizes us with endless beauty. Thank you for making 20th August so memorable to all who came and participated in this ultra marathon.

(3)To all participants: Thank you for taking up this challenge. For gritting your teeth and pull through even the most gruesome part. For baring with my faults, and for accepting that this race still has rooms for improvements.

(4)To my lovely wife: For having so much faith and confidence in me that she decided to actually race the 50KM distance on race day. This truly means a lot to me. Thank you my dearest wife not only for this, but for your endless support, for your patience when I got so impatience, for your positiveness, encouragements and most of all for your love.

(5) Last and not least to my sponsors,Compressport been the title sponsor,COWA as a coconut drink and Gorilla as our fitness drinks.

For those of you who has registered for the Semenyih Series on 5th Nov; see you there at race site. I will work harder to ensure that I will be able to provide and deliver better.
For those that who has yet to register, please do so, so that you won’t miss out on another challenge and beauty that awaits you.
