THE NORTH FACE 100® REGIONAL SERIES MAKES ITS WAY TO SINGAPORE! - CAN YOU ENDURE?
This event is not like your average typical marathon along red-carpet tarmac or pavements, but for those who desire the thrill or trail and off-road running. Being a cross country runner myself before hoping on as a road runner, I cannot deny that this run will be easily be twice the difficulty to complete given off-road and terrain- a real challenge for those who want to test their limits of what they can achieve and desire to live the marathon life further on the edge and wilderness.
More on the official excerpt:
The series kicked off in Australia on May 17 taking runners across the Blue Mountains for 100km of stunning views, and not to mention, the aches, pains and cramps that come along with participating in such a grueling race.
Appealing to the most adventurous of athletes, The North Face 100® is not your ordinary run in the park, but an off-road trail run that promises to test your determination, perseverance and zest for pain! The North Face 100® will stop in The Philippines on-route to Singapore before its grand finale in Beijing, China next year.
Be a part of this inaugural run and you could just find yourself running amongst some of the world’s top ultra runners in China!
