Fitness enthusiasts will want to circle May 10th – 12th 2024 on their calendar and brace themselves for an adrenaline-packed experience as Pangkor Laut Resort, Malaysia part of YTL Hotels’ impressive portfolio, transforms into the ultimate playground for thrill-seekers with its famed Chapman’s Challenge! For the sixth year, The Chapman’s Challenge will be a heart-pounding spectacle up to 70 participants, offering the chance to claim glory and exclusive prizes, including the sought-after NORQAIN timepiece which proudly returns as the Official Timekeeper for the event.
What is The Chapman’s Challenge?
Channelling the daring spirit of the late British Colonel Freddy Spencer Chapman who bravely breached enemy lines, concluding a more than three-year evasion of the occupying Japanese forces, participants will embark on an electrifying 3.8km road run, a pulse-pounding 2.4km trek through a pristine 2-million year-old rainforest, and an invigorating 1km swim in the crystal-clear waters of Emerald Bay, culminating in triumph at Chapman’s Bar.
Post-race respite
Participants can enjoy the post-race celebrations at Chapman’s Bar including a sensory feast with cocktails flowing, a lavish barbecue dinner, and the highly anticipated prize-giving ceremony at Emerald Bay. The top finisher breaking the past recorded time will be forever etched on the Chapman’s Bar scoreboard, while the top three in each category will revel in luxurious stays at select properties within YTL Hotel’s esteemed global portfolio.
And that’s not all! The overall champions in the men’s and ladies’ divisions will each be crowned with a NORQAIN ADVENTURE SPORT timepiece, valued at an impressive £1,878!
