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.
