Imagine reliving the exploits of a World War II commando in the jungle and the sea. That’s what the The Chapman’s Challenge 2017 – a unique running and swimming biathlon at Pangkor Laut Resort – promises to be.

The event is named after Colonel Freddy Spencer Chapman, who recorded his exploits in the book The Jungle Is Neutral.
