Mount Berembun Green Challenge

Mount Berembun Green Challenge

The task is to run up the mountain and run come back down. Yup, u read it right, run up the mountain. The height of the mountain is "only" 1108 meters. The longest run is 16.1km, middle distances for veteran is 14km and a 7km route for juniors. 

It is an ultimate for trail running, offering all the challenges to make it the one of the most enduring runs in Malaysia. Here are some pictures of the trails, and use your imagination to the fullest to imagine running here.

 Going up is gonna take a toll on your quads and coming up will test your knees. It would take 7-8 hours to hike up the mountain to the peaks. These guys goes up and down in less than 3 hours. At some part of the trail, the angle is at least 70 degrees. 

  

A little before noon, the sky starts to rain. Small streams appear on the trail, making it even more challenging. 

However, they are folks who just wanna enjoy nature and leave the hard core running to the rest.

 

The ones standing on the podium represents some of the hard core who enjoys the nature and the challenges its presents.
