Trail run aimed at promoting tourism in Bario

The challenging trail saw bonding and camaraderie between runners participating in one of the regions’ toughest and remote nature run.

KUCHING: Japanese Reiko Yamashita clocked 8hrs 39.37min to win the Women’s category of the gruelling 50km Runners Wild Bario trail run last weekend.

The winner for the Men’s category was Mohd Syamsul Bahtiar Abdul Gapar, who came close to breaking the course record with a run of 6hrs 7.33min, if it was not for the bad weather and very muddy conditions.
