Team Salomon Malaysia are given special privilege to meet and greet him right before the mass adoring fans. It was 4 years ago since he visited Kuala Lumpur.

I had my copy of his book autograph "To Ray, keep your dreams". Plus the privilege of having his signature on my lucky Salomon Sense 4 Ultra shoes.

We had a brief chat during this activity, his eyes brighten up when I told him that I signed up the entry lottery to Hardrock 100 for the 2nd straight years.

He replied innocently that he tried the lottery 3 times before finally got in 2014.

Yes, I will keep my dreams running Hardrock someday!

Maybe the next time we meet, it will be in Hardrock. See you soon Kilian.

Wonderland (Video)

On July 1st, 2015, Gary Robbins, Team Salomon Canada - a seasoned and winning Ultrarunner - started at Longmire, in the shadow of Mount Rainier, and attempted to set the fastest known supported time around the Wonderland Trail.

Kyle Skaggs' record of 20 hours 53 minutes was always considered unbeatable. 93 miles, over 24,000ft of elevation gain, and record breaking heat. This day had it all. Could Gary step up to the challenge?
