Obstacle course proves tough but rewarding

Need to be nimble: One participant sneaking under an obstacle during the challenge at Taman Rekreasi Kuari, Penang Botanic Gardens.

THEY had to climb over a pile of tyres, climb a rope, dive into ice and mud and crawl on the ground — but it was all for fun.

Some 1,600 participants went through exhilarating challenges during the inaugural Lion Dash obstacle and adventure race at the Penang Botanic Gardens.
