Running In Asia

I love running in Asia, the people are wonderful and the events are usually very well organised. Most of the running events are non profit, so they give so much back in food, gifts and prize money. I have ran the Bangkok Marathon twice, it starts at 3am so beats alot of the heat. I have run the Penang Half marathon twice, it also starts in the middle of the night and runs across the huge Penang bridge, which is 13kms long! I have also run in Bali and Singapore.

The problem for westerners running in Asia is dealing with the humidity, however, due to their early start times, I didnt find that too much of a problem.My bucket list for more Asian races for me would have to be the Great Wall Marathon of course, an iconic world running event, and the Foulees de la Soie in Bejing, a staged race, sounds like a great running holiday.
