In this week's coffee talk, we're joined with Ewegene Tan who is the Race Director of The North Face 100 Malaysia and the International Sporting Event Management company, MMTF .  Besides race directing, he is also an big time ultrarunner who loves an extra order of distance like finishing the 330km Tor De Geants and many others.

 

We cover how he was able to grow from a 10k to a 330k runner, some of his biggest DNF's that he has faced and the lessons that he's taken away.  He's also brought those lessons into exploring the role as a race director leading the vision for the growing sport of trail running in Malaysia.

 

We go over some of the biggest challenges he faces as a race director.  Besides connecting the trails and making them safe, Ewegene believes his purpose is to educate people about the trails and bring together a larger community.

 

Overall, I had so many big takeaways from my conversation with Ewegene.  In my opinion, he's experienced so much and has gained so much wisdom from it.  I really hope you guys enjoy!
