However, we faced a great challenge from Gurkhas because their last runner was very strong and overtook us at about last 2km.
We are proud team MR25 is strong enough to beat at least one Gurkhas team and all other strong teams. No doubt, our second team was also doing the good job as came in 6th place.

There was a big turn out for the annual MR25 BBQ night this year. Long time members and new members turn out in droves to enjoy the food, drinks and most importantly each others company. Stories of yester years PBs, races and training were readily shared among friends and across generations of runners to mark an enjoyable night.
Saturday’s downpour has caused many trees to fall along MR northern trail. In view of safety, northern trail was avoided and the route was changed to 23 km instead.
