The SUN Genting Trailblazer Boot Camp

Responding to an advertisement in The SUN newspaper last week, Steven (P5) wrote in for the selection of The SUN Team competing in Genting Trailblazer Challenge to be held on Sunday 3 September. Steven and Weng have an edge for consideration in their application as they have just run full marathon at Penang Bridge International Marathon on 30 July.

Bingo! They were selected for the Awana Trailblazer Boot Camp this Saturday 12 August. They call themselve Team Penguin X -- what a catchy name.

Another Penguin Runner who is selected is Tony (P3). Together with ChongYS, their team name is The Mountain Man. Participating in this challenge is the home turf or terrain for Tony. This is understandable as he is the mountain sifu.

Eighteen teams are identified to attend this selection that will go through a series of actual tough challenges. Only 6 teams (2 teams for Men's Open; 2 teams for Women's Open; and 2 teams for Mixed's Open) will be selected to represent The SUN newspaper with an all-paid overnight package thrown in at Awana Resort on race day. Besides, they get to run the full course free of charge.

Congratulations and all the best to you four! Chance favours the well-prepared persons.
