Spartan Race Kuala Lumpur 2025

From October 18 to 19, three of our Ventures — Bryan, Jonas, and Caleb — put their endurance to the test at the Spartan Race Malaysia 2025: Kuala Lumpur Trifecta Weekend. Set against the backdrop of an abandoned airport runway, the course presented a grueling challenge. The team successfully navigated rugged terrain and deep mud, all while battling the scorching heat of the open runway.

Although the course was demanding, every member of the team successfully completed the 10k Spartan Super. Notably, Bryan achieved a significant milestone by completing his Spartan Trifecta for the second time in a row.

This weekend in Kuala Lumpur was a defining experience for the Ventures. Pushing themselves both physically and mentally, they battled through grueling obstacles to achieve what they once thought to be out of reach. Beyond the physical challenge, it was a unique opportunity to strengthen their bonds and create unforgettable memories.

Below is a reflection from Bryan, who successfully completed the full Spartan Trifecta!

"Having competed in Spartan races in both Singapore and Malaysia before, I’ve come to value these events as a powerful avenue for mental and physical growth. They force me to push my limits and discover what I am truly capable of when I focus and give my all.

However, this weekend was exceptionally demanding. I tackled both the 21K Beast and the 5K Sprint on Saturday, followed by the 10K Super on Sunday. The 21K Beast was particularly challenging; running it solo meant I had to rely entirely on my own mental fortitude without anyone to cheer me on. Despite the isolation, I persevered and secured a 4th place finish in my age category. By the time I started the 5K shortly after, I was physically drained, nursing blistered hands and an aching body. My pace slowed, but I refused to quit and I still finished it.

Sunday’s 10K was a welcome change. I was grateful to run alongside Jonas and Caleb, which made the journey far more enjoyable. Together, we conquered the course, proudly representing our troop and bringing honor to the unit and ourselves."

¨Through this experience, I learned the importance of being 'comfortable being uncomfortable´. I realised that true personal growth comes from stepping out of our comfort zones and challenging our limits. By doing so, we not only improve ourselves but also bring pride to our families and the Troop. This weekend has truly become a core memory for us – and we will definitely be back for more!¨
