BDB Climb & Run Langkawi Route Preview

Recently I had the chance to review this new event in Langkawi, introducing BDB Climb & Run Langkawi !

Thank you Ariff Syafik and mind@works communication for your kind invitation.

On the morning of 24th April, we started to test the route around 8:00 am. The start point was at Tangga Seribu Kenangan, Hutan Lipur Lubok Semilang,

Full details:

21km total distance
1,182m elevation gain
4,287 stairs of Tangga Helang Seribu Kenangan.

I was climbing the stairs with Ajis & Deo throughput the first section, there were two false peaks at the stairs section. I must say this was a tough climb, most of the time i fast hiked the stairs only ran few sections either flat or going downhill.

It was tough! but i loved it. Lung busting exercise.

Took me about 56 minutes to complete the stairs section (3km), Ajis & Deo finished few minutes earlier than me. But that's ok for old uncle like me, can’t compete with these young guns.

Three of us decided to continue running up to the peak of Gunung Raya (801 masl), it was a great view up there. Now the fun part, downhill yay!

15 km of downhill to the start point, about 13 km to the base of Gunung Raya (the street junction). It was cool day with misty weather of the top part of the mountain.

As we ran nearer to the bottom the mountain, it gets warmer and hotter. From the junction of the base to the finish line it was about 2km of winding road. It was bloody hot now!

It took me 2:33 hours to complete the whole 21km course. I highly recommended this event for runners looking for lung bursting challenge. See you guys this coming 4th June 2016.
