BloodRunner 2015 describes itself as Asia’s first werewolf-themed urban obstacle night race. The 10km race is set to turn Putrajaya into an obstacle course where your performance will be timed. Besides running, participants will be expected to jump, climb, crawl, carry loads and scramble through the streets at night. Registration for the race is closed, but you can still become a spectator to the bloodbath as the werewolves chase down the runners. For those who’ve joined, take a look at one of the training videos designed specifically for this race. www.bloodrunner.com
