Mr Joshua Toh ran about 480km at the ultramarathon race Backyard Ultra in Tennessee, USA on Oct 21, 2023, to finish 22nd out of 75 runners.
last year, 46-year-old Joshua Toh wanted to see how far he could really go when pit against the world's best ultramarathoners. Mr Toh was among 75 other national champions who qualified for a spot in the Backyard Ultra Individual World Championships, after beating 15 other teams of runners in last year's Backyard Ultra championship in Singapore.
"Last year I did 51 loops and this year I finished with 72. That's 21 loops more, so I will say I'm definitely very happy with the result," he said. One of Mr Toh's challenges was the climate. He recounted extreme weather during the race where some days would get surprisingly hot and he would see people drop out of the competition because of heat exhaustion.But for Mr Toh, the biggest challenge was the terrain.
"Ever since I learned about the format of this race, I fell in love with it. Somehow I enjoy it and I like to put myself to the test."
