Phuket 100 km Ultra Marathon was held on 2nd March in Phuket, Thailand. Where 560+ runners from 22 countries participated in 100 KM and 60 KM categories. Imamur Rahman, the only participant from Bangladesh, completed the run in the 100 KM ultra category and took 16:55:53 hours to finish. Imamur Rahman said, “Because the running track is next to the sea, the humidity is high and the temperature that day was 38-39 degrees centigrade. Still it feels good to complete the run in the 100 KM ultra category. It is indeed a matter of pride to raise the flag of our country on foreign land.
He did not succumb to the extreme hot and humid weather. Finished the run and raised the flag of Bangladesh at the finish line. After completing the Vietnam Ultra Trail Marathon and Portugal Super Half Series last year, Imamur completed the Bangabandhu Dhaka Marathon on January 26 this year. The athlete is gearing up to represent Bangladesh in some more ultra and ultra trail marathons in the future.
