Yours truly has taken part in this event in 2012 (10km) and 2013 (15km). Those who want to read more about my adventures doing this challenge can click here. I must warn those attempting this 'nature challenge' after running the Spring Live Active Run a week early that this run is for those who are skilled in jungle trail running. Several parts of the route is extremely challenging and can be dangerous if the runner is not fit enough or gets careless. The 15km route is only recommended for those who are familiar with such challenges or have done the 10km the previous year and want to step it up a notch. Being able to run 21km at SLAR is no guarantee that the runner is ready for the 15km which involves climbing to the peak of Mount Penrissen (1,329m), which dwarfs Mount Santubong (810m) or even Mount Serapi (911m). The elevation is what will trouble the novice trail runner. Be warned that there will be leeches of the most aggressive kind that may not have taste human blood in ages.
