The Viper Challenge series, widely regarded as Asia’s biggest obstacle course running event, turned up the heat on participants as they were pushed well above their limits in Johor.

The little township of Medini in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, came alive when it hosted the Sunway Iskandar Viper Challenge for a second straight year, with 9,000 participants, of which almost 2,400 were from Singapore. In an effort to challenge the physical and mental fitness of the competitors, this Viper Challenge series covered a distance of 15km with 18 obstacles.
