DAU RUNS 1,000KM IN 12 DAYS

She sets record for Thailand to S’pore ultramarathon, raises 50k for charity
For 12 days, Natalie Dau pounded the streets across Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, chalking up 1,000km – the equivalent of two full marathons (42.195km) a day.
Her running shoes melted in the 35 deg C heat and a hip injury threatened to derail her quest, but she pushed on with her solo run.
And there was a wide grin on her face as the 52-year-old ultramarathoner crossed the finish line at The Westin Singapore on June 5 to the cheers of over 100 supporters.
Her feat through three countries on foot earned her the Singapore record for the “Fastest 1,000km Thailand-Singapore Ultramarathon”. The Guinness World Record for the “Fastest Crossing of Peninsular Malaysia on Foot” is pending certification.
She also raised over $50,000 for global charity GRLS, which works to elevate women and girls through sport and exercise, as well as help them develop leadership skills.
