21KM. 2 hours 10 minutes. Zero walking.
A simple mission: respect the course, respect the pace, finish strong.
This debut half marathon taught me more, because to tell stories about runners, you’ve got to run their journey too.

What a year it’s been. From covering the Osaka Marathon in early 2024 to wrapping it up with the Chiang Mai Ultra Trail by UTMB, this journey has been nothing short of humbling. Along the way, I had the privilege to document incredible moments from world-class events like the New York City Marathon and Tour de France in Singapore to grassroots favorites like Boom Run, KLSCM, and Run The Track here in Malaysia.
Every step, every story, and every mile traveled is a testament to the passion that fuels this small, independent platform. Running 100% on our own resources, we’ve managed to stay full-time, covering events with heart and dedication.
This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of clients, collaborators, and, most importantly, YOU 🫵🏻 our community. Your encouragement, trust, and belief in what we do keep us moving forward.
As we look ahead, we’re excited to grow, partner with more like-minded brands, and tell even more stories that inspire. Let’s work together to make 2025 even bigger!
Thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to chasing dreams, one finish line at a time.

Some fighters enter the cage to conquer opponents.
Some walk through life learning how to conquer themselves.
Today back in Kuala Lumpur, I met a young man who carries both fire and calm in the same soul.
Jojo Ghazali… young in years, but already speaking the language that sport teaches the rare ones, discipline, respect, sacrifice, humility. Just honesty in every word and purpose in every step.
And perhaps that is what separates athletes from stars.
Because fame can arrive overnight…
But character is built in silence, through sweat, pain, routine and repetition.
Sport does not only create fighters.
It creates men who understand life before life even begins to test them.
The future is rushing toward him.
But humility still walks beside him.
And that… is dangerous. All the best @johanghazali_
Ultraman isn’t only raced by the one crossing the line.
Sometimes, it’s carried quietly by the people running beside the pain
84.3KM into the unknown…
She kept moving with a broken body
No cameras can truly show that moment when suffering becomes courage
And that’s why champions are not made by speed.
They are made by refusing to stop. 🇲🇾
Thank you team @ann_pow@elainempress@kentcross5@arixfaffxndi_
