Ultra Race: Death on the Trails

by Alastair Macdonald

The Asian Ultra Trail Running Tournament is becoming intense. There are only a few events remaining before the annual competition concludes. Accumulating the maximum race points for finishing on the podium are everything to the top runners. Competition for the title this year is fierce. One up and coming runner is looking for an edge to get themselves on the podium in the race in Malaysia. He is driven by love, a passion for running, and he will do anything to win. The battle is not only on the trails. Being the lead sponsor of Asia’s top ultra trail events means everything to one man. He is not interested who wins the race title. He only cares about launching his new sports drink and creating brand awareness. Every race has its own set of set of challenges, ranging from distance, elevation, weather, and the steep unforgiving mountain trails. Accidents start to happen across the events. Runners are getting injured. Are these accidents racing incidents, or is someone deliberately creating mayhem? As some of the top runners are taken out of the competition, the battle to come out on top only intensifies. How will things develop as the tournament moves towards its dramatic climax?
