Registration entrance in the morning.

NKY and I signed this up for the first time, at Genting Highlands. With first-tier ticket at RM 99 per person, each participant is guaranteed of 10 km distance running with 15 obstacles, a finisher medal, t-shirt and wonderful story to brag of about taking on the mountain. The organizers also offered a number of hotel packages to all participants, bundled with two (2) Viper Challenge entry tickets. This proved a boost to the hotel businesses and shoppers’ sales during the low season.

Preparing for the start of wave.

Our given starting wave is at 8 am and the check-in process was quick with a flash of registration voucher and ID at the entrance gate. Different starting times helped to control the number of participants on area. Everyone seemed to enjoy the atmosphere in that morning, accompanied by the coolest emcee with his sexy voice.

Row of obstacles.

Both of us managed to complete the course in less than 2.5 hours. It was not an easy task with uphill course in the first half and declining one in the second half of race. Gladly I completed all obstacles along the course, except for one. We collected our finisher medal and tee once crossing the finishing arch. 

Horse barn.

Food trucks are everywhere.

After cleaning up ourselves and photo taking, we took a short walk to the Gohtong Jaya skyway station for a free ride to Genting Highlands. It’s a superb Saturday with scrumptious food treats and nice people around.
